You can silicone a piece of plexiglass to it so it will break the fall of the water and therefore quiet it down. Or, figure out a way to break the fall of the water some other way so that the water slides down whatever object you use instead of dropping into the tank. How high is the water level in the tank? The lower it is, the noisier the filter is.
I haven't done the plexiglass thing yet--I don't want to keep the filter out for the 48 hours the silicone needs to dry. I'm getting another Aquaclear 110, though, and will probably attach something to it to see the difference. The noise doesn't bother me as it is, but I'm not sleeping the the room with it at the moment.
Let me know how it works if you add some plexiglass.
