Got a few of these and it shouldnt be making that much noise.  They will make a bit of noise if the cany cane shaped hard plastic tube is making contact with the lip of your tank and the skimmer is running though.  A little felt or velcro will fix that in short order.

While seaclones dont seem to have a very good rep on most forums I havent had a problem with them yet.  On mine I usually have the air valve just about as open as I can get it and it not fall out!  You might have to readjust it from time to time though.

I have one that is very loud. I think the pump may be the culprit. I'm not too keen on this skimmer, but it was free so I can't complain.

If you haven't already done so, I would recommend these mods.
