Pump Selection question

[JDrex]

I recently moved my aquarium into the living room but the pumps that i have are just ridiculasly loud. I have a Mag 9.5 as my return and a Sedra not sure on the number for my Euro-Reef RS80 skimmer. The sedra is extremely loud and the mag 9.5 is fairly loud. I was just wondering is anyone can suggest a quieter set of pumps that I can use.

I have a very similar setup, I use a Mag 7 on the return and probably the same Sedra for the Euro-reef (CS-8 skimmer I think). Once I close in my cabinet, the noise is not too bad. I don't know if you can do anything about the Sedra because of the needlewheel. The Mag can be replaced with a QueitOne (but there quality is worse than Mag) or Eheim.

I would probably just close in the stand and sound insulate the cabinet with 3/8" styrofoam sound board.
