Quiet air pump options

So I recently bought an eBay knockoff of the general hydroponics waterfarm kit, which runs off an air pump. I finally got it set up today and have come to find the air pump to be extremely loud. In sure a large pump is necessary for powering an 8 bucket waterfarm kit,, but has anyone seen anyone run 2-3 smaller, quieter pumps instead of one large loud one? My other thought was of building a box to put it in to muffle it, but the cooling fins on the casing tell me this thing might get warm and that might not be a great idea?

Ps - sorry for not searching first. I'm at work and surfing via phone and for some reason this forums search function doesn't work on my iPhone.
 
How much are these pumps on average if bought online or ebay?
