I just can't get used to the loud hum of the SS6.
Is there anything I can do to make it quieter? Or should I just return it to Amazon, and buy another model?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry I cannot help you because I don't even have my unit yet but I do understand how a sound can be bothersome. Which model is the SS6? You could call the Aerogarden company and ask this question. I did some reading up on the noise of a unit and the person was told to replace the pump and then it was much quieter. Hope I helped a little bit.

Why is my bubbling AeroGarden noisy?
If your noisy AeroGarden is equipped with an airstone (find out if it is here), the noise is coming either from the airstone inside the Water Bowl or from the solenoid air pump inside the Base. To determine which it is, lift the Bowl off the Base; if the AeroGarden stops making noise, then the problem is with the air stone or its connecting hose. To fix it:
Remove the bowl and Grow Deck and take them to your kitchen counter (where you don't mind dripping some water).
Lift the Grow Deck off the Bowl and set it aside.
Make sure the U-shaped black plastic air hose housing is pushed all the way down on its coupling in the bottom of the bowl.
Carefully remove the air stone from the tube and replace the Bowl on the Base. If the noise has stopped, the problem was with the air stone and it should be replaced. (To purchase air stones, click here or call Customer Service at 800-476-9669.) You can run the AeroGarden without the air stone - just make sure that the bottom of the air hose is under the surface of the water.
If the AeroGarden continues making the noise when the bowl is removed, then the problem is with the solenoid air pump, which is wired into the base. Please call Customer Service at 1-800-476-9669 ........
