+ 1 for Masterflex. I also use a 7523-80. That is a GREAT model and is virtually silent.

Best tips I can give when looking is Masterflex pumps is:
Brushless if noise is an issue. Brushed models have a constant him. Brushless are near silent. Cole Parmer notes brushless models as "Maintenance Free".

600 RPM is best for longevity because it's motor is gear driven and you will be running it at a much lower RPM at our flow rates which results in much less wear and tear with the pump.

You want an Easy Load head that ideally supports LS17 tubing.

There are dozens of models that can be used. Some have good points and bad points. If you find a model, I suggest searching this thread for info on it and see what others have to say. Also, everything you would ever want to know about setting them up and using them on calcium reactors can found in the Masterflex thread.

I bought an economy model for $100 off eBay. Still grinding along after 4 years. Certainly not silent, but it's in the basement.
