Update: installed, very silent, can't hear it at all.
Tp4 thinks he has unraveled the mystery of why the bearings burned out on the first pump.
The pipe has its own space in the basement slab, but it's then duct to the sump pump basin.
When the rain is heavy that basin floods, and the first radon pump would be pulling against a vaccum (water). So there'd be no airflow going across through the pump, which it relies upon for cooling, it's around 2500-3000 rpm, so it's pretty fast with a large mass.
There is an on off switch that Tp4 did not notice before, it's outdoors. and it must be for the exact situation where you'd turn off the pump, if there's rainwater amassing in the sump basin.
You guys haz ne experience ?
Which brand is gud' ?

Sapphire, XFX, ASRock, & Power Color - I tend to get Sapphire or Power Color's cards, I've run an Asus HD7870 back in the day, but it wasn't a good OC'er compared to the Sapphire & PC cards I've had or have (have a RX 580 8GB in my son's rig - clocks very well)
