Try filling it up to the black line at the top :) That is fine, that is what I do. :) You may want to add more water, a lot of time the lower the water level, the louder the filter.

If you can't stand the sound, move the tank or invest in a better quieter filter such as an aquaclear or an emperor. Your filter NEEDS to run all the time.

If your 10 gallon is stocked with a certain amount of fish, then the ammonia level may rise. That is harmful to your fish. Plus, if you have no air filter running , then you have no aeration for them to breathe. I do not hear my 3 aquarium filters running. Depending on how long you've had the filter, you may want to get your money back. Then get another one. Also, make sure your water level is not low. You should keep it running.

If you don't it wont keep the water clean, and cause a build up in ammonia which will kill all your fishes. No sorry but the filter must always be on!

If it is a little loud because of the water flow, make sure the water level is high enough, if the water is to low it will create the water fall effect. If it is the motor, make sure there is nothing on the filter that is rattling causing this. If not and it is just a noisy filter, you may want to think about getting another brand, you can find some good ones at your local pet store for little money for a tank that size. Good luck.
