How to dampen the vibrating sound of a powerhead?

[staylor1490]

I'm using this powerhead (link below) for my 3.7 gallon AOI pico reef. The powerhead has a lot of power but unfortunately, it is quite loud. The powerhead is only touching the glass of my tank at one point yet I still can wear the vibrating sound. How would y'all make your the powerhead silent?

Longer feet or find something soft for it to sit on.

Would wrapping it with filter foam work?

It might. It might get clogged though and reduce flow. Try coarse mattala mat.

Maybe Silicone mat. Brs sells them I think. If I remember you can cut them to shape with scissors
