I’m seeking an indoor water fountain with a quiet pump, but the reviews for these on Amazon mainly have dissatisfied customers complaining about noisy pumps. Can someone recommend one with a quiet pump?

Don’t know what size pump you need, but this perhaps is helpful. I have a waterfall pump for a outdoor pond. I was initially disappointed because of the noise but then switched from a rigid piping system to a flexible pipe ‘buffer’ between the pump and pipes and the noise went away, I can not hear the pump at all.
