Looking for recommendations. my Red Sea skimmer is too loud. Trying to make my entire tank as close to silence at possible
 
Most dc skimmers are very quiet pump wise. The last part of the equation comes down to the silencer which further helps a lot.

Reef octopus elite 220 int gets my vote without jumping up to a bubble king from personal experience.

Have you tried putting porous foam in or on the silencer assuming it isn't the pump making the noise?
 
Maxpect sk800 , I feel very ok the noise is not too loud
