airstone question

Try an air bar, but stay away from the 99 cent ones. I have one that is ceramic stone in a plastic base. Works good.
A couple of my fish actually hang out in the bubble curtain. I've heard that bubbles inside of gills is bad, but I guess the fish don't know it.
Not all of them, only one or two, really like it.

Not any noisier than the HOB "waterfall" You can buy quite air pumps.
The valve contraption probably didn't work well because your air pump does not pump enough pressure to run multiple air hoses. (Mine could not run two bubble strips AND the diver guy.) Bigger air pump or a second air pump may be necessary.

Sometimes the pores in the stone get clogged up over time. Poking them with a needle with clean them out some.
If you have a relatively new stone and still want more bubbles then you'll need to do something else.
You could get a bubble bar like suggested above, and/or you could get an airline splitter and run two or more stones off of the one air pump.

Rayneuki - This may be something you've already looked into, but with a towel wrapped around something electronic with a motor I would be concerned about it getting too hot. You may want to check on it periodically.
Also, it sounds silly, but when I was running airstones it seemed to make a great deal of difference how far the stone was pressed down onto the tubing. You could try fiddling with that. I kind of miss having bubbles, maybe I'll put some in at some point.
