Marine Metal 610030 First Impressions
It's exactly the same.
If that is true-then no wonder this is pretty quiet! And there are fixes around all of it. Overall seems like a good air pump. Great Product, BUT, its noisy and vibrates like mad on its rubber feet. It could easily run a small fish room. This one is far better than I anticipated! Use large Air Stone Bars for giant columns of air bubbles.

Marine Metal 610030 Final Thoughts
I got 2 of these.
Buzzing, humming, vibrating- they were driving me nuts! It just sounds like a large freezer. It still works internally, but no air. Pump is basically silent when both airlines are attached. Make sure the hose is connected well. This thing has plenty of power for my needs. The pump is so powerful that it pushed off the connection tube several times.
