Hi, I could use some help with noise.

My scrubber is making a lot of noise. I just got the flow up to the right speed, but it is now making a lot of noise. My tank is in the living room, and now you can't hear the tv clearly if the volume is low-ish.

My screen is about 16 inches long, and the bottom 4 inches are in the water (as planned). Most of the noise seems to come from the amount of water flow over the sheet, with some of it coming from water bouncing or spraying off it.

Are there any design adjustments/ideas used to control the sound that you can share?

There should be no water bouncing or spraying off the screen. 100% of the water should flow smoothly down the screen. Try one of these:

Widen the slot.
Make cross cuts
Put a spray/light shield on

A pic or video would help a lot.
