Is it normal for this pump to put out 70db of noise? Thanks!!

I don't know what 70db sounds like. But I consider my pump is as quiet as my neighbors or better.

The pump is very quiet. Mine is installed around the corner of the house from the pool and you cannot hear it. I have it set for 3,000 rpm for 1st stage and 2,400 for the remainder. I would give it an 8 on your scale.

my pump is very quiet. If it is sitting on a surface wrong, or touching something else, it will buzz. You might try moving it around or setting it on a washcloth or something to quiet the buzzing.

The only time the received pumps out the full amount of watts is when you have it blaring so loud that its annoying anyways. I listen to mine around 70-80% all the time and they sound great. You will be fine .

When I have been in our basement near our water heater, I have never heard the Grundfos pump unit make any noise. The part installed under the sink does not hum or make any type of noise whatsoever. We have had this unit for over a year, and we love it!

I use it as a submerged pump. Very little noise because it's under the water. Good luck.

none of them are particularly quiet in my experience with a usual rough vibratory tone made worse if they are operating under any back pressure. Run it free in a bucket and see how it sounds. If still loud then that's the sound of the pump.The maxijets are worse

Mine isn't noisy at all. And mine works awesome and is well worth the price. Just bought mine used do I didn't spend the money a new one would be. Maybe it's clogged ?

My best answer is that this device is a high volume pump and pumps make noises.... That is the best answer i can come up with.

My pump is in the basement. You can hear it but it becomes background noise. If you are looking for a silent pump, good luck!

Mine is not quiet, but it's certainly not offensive. Sounds like most any pump machine.

Mine isn't loud. I would not consider it normal. Contact the seller for an RMA.

Ours makes a small cyclic hum. You can hear it. It doesn't bother me, but everyone has different tolerances.

just installed it. VERY quiet and it seems to working great. Make sure you wire it before plumbing it, small area inside the pump housing to connect the wires and it is easier to do so when you can move the pump.

my pump is quiet however sometimes it will touch the top sides of the lid and make noise. I am just mindful of that and will move it accordingly.

mine also makes that noise, its the permeate pump on top that uses waste water to run on and it helps make water faster than if you just relied on water pressure alone. its just the nature of the beast and when you hear that you know its filling your pressure tank up.

I replaced the stock fans because I considered them to be to noisy, the pump is silent, noise is equal to the quality of fans you use.
