I'm looking for a nice single 5 gal air pump. Being quiet & running cool is a must. I think I'll be using a 8 inch flat circular stone. It looks like a nice one.

I have looked at a few pumps online. Just not sure of what's good vs junk. Actually I'm wondering about Tetra whisper 60 for aquariums. Just because i know most aquarium pumps are quiet.
 
I'm still hung up on what pump to order. Just want one good one for a single 5 gal bucket. Seems like the tetra whisper 100 is pretty quiet from what I see in fishtank reviews online. But I dont see it used much for dwc videos. So it's hard to judge. My setup is indoors hidden in a single shower stall..so keeping it quiet it pretty important.
 
I use the ecoair pump's

The evoair1 is whisper quiet, the 2, two outlets, is a bit noisier, but I have two evoair1 for 5 gal buckets working fantastic
 
I’m using a whisper 3000 it’s super quiet and not to hot it’s a deep water pump. It can shoot air down to 8 feet. It’s for 300gall tanks. But it’s perfect for my 5 gallon bucket. Also I use a ebay 4 outlet pump I believe 900 cfm and that gives me really nice air. Now when I do 7. 5 gallon buckets. I have a big ass pump that gets hot and is loud. I don’t use that thing unless I have to. But to keep the heat away I just use longer airline and the airstome. Make sure it produces fine bubbles. Not big ones. A fine mist of bubbles carry’s more oxygen
