Loud Filtration

[Freshwater Sucker Fish]

I need some advice. My 55 gal tank is cycling and being prepared for new fish. I just bought the tank a few days ago. It came with a filtration system. it is quiet at first but hours later it makes the lid vibrate and is loud and annoying. What's the reason for this. I need thoughts and advice. Note its just the vibration that's annoying.

What type of filter do you have? There are internal, canister, hang on back, trickle filters built into the hood, sponge filters powered by an air pump. Different types have different ways of sorting out noise

I have a hang on back filter here's a picture

Note: there is a lid that when on top it vibrates making noise.

Cushion parts of the lid with bits of felt, or just leave it off...

Or put something heavy on top of it.

Try a piece of foam to wedge it in place.
