Just got a jebao slw-5 for my 20 gal, and it is pretty noisy. I attached a video of the noise, you can tell when it turns on around 5 seconds into the vid.

Any ideas how to make it quieter?

I had a cheap Jabao SW on my frag tank and it was very noisy for about 5-7 days after I bought it. It slowly quieted down and is now basically silent. Might just need some break in time.

Did it quiet down or still the same?

Any updates on the noise issues?
I installed this unit today it it is making a clicking or tapping noise as it spins. I took it apart thinking something was loose, but I couldn’t find anything wrong.

Otherwise it seems awesome!

Hey, same issue. This thing is annoying, did you have to replace it with something else?
