Looking for most silent hydro setup options.

This would be for a 1 gallon dwc bucket. I have a pump but it doesn't seem to pump enough bubbles. So I thought maybe one more powerful would give me more bubbles right. Thus growing a bigger and healthier plant.

They have a rating on them, but it seems the Chinese just make that stuff up most of the time. I've been eyeballing needing some new water pumps for single dripper type setups, and you can't find anything on Amazon that you trust leaving for more than a day, or however long it would take your plant to die if the pump fails.
I'm going to recommend killing two birds with one stone. Give this a try if you want to keep it simple.

Yes, for your situation. Calculated on the amount of buckets you're going to use. The one I showed, which I use, is easily good for 9 -10 buckets. The pond pump are also so much quieter than the compressor pumps.

Are you pumping water or air?
In my dwc setups I have a water pump pumping solution to each container, and a large air pump going to a manifold that supplies each containers air stone with air.
