What's some decent air pumps?

Hi all. I'm just looking for new air pumps for my 6 and 10 gallon tanks. The 6 has a sponge filter, with the tetra whisper pump but it's slowly getting more obnoxious with it's vibrating.
Anyway. Any recommendations?

 

I like the air pumps from Danner, they make a variety of sizes. Also like the Quietflow airpumps from Aqueon. Both those tend to be pretty quiet in my experience.

 

Tetra aps range is pretty good for power but not very quiet from my experience.

 

If you have any foam or felt try putting that under the air pump. I cut up a yoga mat for foam/leveling under my tanks and used some of the left over under the air pump. It lives between the two tanks. But it’s only a whisper 10 so small to begin with.
Something to try to at least make it less annoying until you can replace it.
The USB air pumps seem to get good reviews. I have one of the Aquarium Coop ones that I’ve used for plant grow out and as back up. Pumps a lot of air for such a small thing! Quiet too.

 

For small tanks I really like the little USB pumps. I bend a plant weight into an S-hook and use it to hang them on the back of the tank near the sponge filter. It's out of the way there, it's close to the filter so you don't need much air line, it's high enough you don't need a check valve, and they're silent.

Going to poach the S hook. Thank you for sharing! And yes I will second that they are silent.
