Fusion20 Skimmer options

Its only been setup about a week, but im already wondering if my IM Ghost Skimmer will ever settle down for noise.

There are no microbubbles, they subsided after around 3 days.

But the noise is excessive. The rest of the tank is silent if I close off the air valve.

Any recommendations for a) alternatives and B) potential solutions to the noise issue?

Ive seen a few, such as a vinegar bath although Ive no idea how to do that!! Or modifying the impeller, but as its brand new im not keen on that idea :/

Thanks

Ive had my ghost going on my new nuvo 10 setup for about 3 weeks now and still have some microbubbles. I could put some floss to correct that but I don't like it messing with my water level for the top off. It was very loud at first and has quieted down alot. I would say its about 50% as loud as it was now. I pulled mine fully apart to inspect the impeller and make sure everything was how it should be. I would give it some time. I am getting great skimmate finally after playing with it. I have the gasket on my cup about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom, and the air intake open about 1-2 full turns. Water level is about 2 or alittle more inches from the top of the white housing. I get pretty dark brown wet skimmate with lots of solid particles that will fill up the cup mostly about every 24 hours.
