Do Indoor Water Fountains Make Noise Like Fish Tanks?

I know they make waterfall sounds, But fish tanks make annoying sounds from filters & sometimes people have pumps.

No, water fountains have a small trickling noise like a brook or creek. Depending on what type of fountain (size, material, how many tiers) will depend on how yours will sound. Indoor fountains are great for blocking out annoying noises.
Two things to make sure your fountain is sounding “soothing”
1. Make sure your pump is not sitting directly on any plastic or metal on the basin, add a rubber pad or sponge to eliminate any vibrations.
2. use a fountain cleaner like Protec to make sure calcium build up does not make your pump work harder and create a “grinding” noise
Mine do not sound like a fish tank at all. About the only time the pump makes strange sounds is when I need to add more water or the pump gets clogged.
