No - If the filter is 'loud' - it needs maintenance ! Aquarium filters are normally very quiet in operation - if yours is making a noise, there must be a reason for it ! There are a number of reasons - the most obvious is that the filter mayneed cleaning out. Debris clogging the filter will cause the motor to run irregularly. Another one could be a faulty bearing in the motor. It's up to you how you deal with it ! Depending on how long you've had it - it could also just be down to 'old age' - in which case - buy a new one !
It is natarul for turtles to lie on rocks and such.
Light, like that of a full moon so the sea turtles can find the ocean.

For a land tortoise, you will need a UV light (that provides artificial sunlight), Vegetables, substrate (dirt), and a hiding place. For water turtles You will need all this + bugs and water.
so you don't waste electiricty... and so that you don't heat up the water with the light
water turtles live in the water land turtles live in the land
turtles still live in water but not all turtles.

No, but their happier with it and without it they don't grow to much.
Land turtles.
No, turtles need a basking light or heat lamp during the day to maintain their body temperature and to help with digestion and metabolizing calcium. UV light at night is not sufficient for turtles. It is important to provide a proper light cycle for your turtle's health and well-being.
You can just use regular water. In the summer/warm weather, I clean my turtles' tank outside with my hose. I also use faucet water. If you'd like to know how I specifically clean my turtles' tank, please contact me or reply to this answer.
