I might pick up an Iwaki very soon but I read in a manual that the MD-30 makes 60 dB. That is the only thing delaying my purchase. Could someone who owns an Iwaki tell me about the noise levels?

I have an MD20RZT and it's just slightly louder than an Eheim 1048. In essence it about as loud as a very quiet fan. I can hear the Ehein out to about 1 foot away, the Iwaki to about 3 feet.
If you havn't run a line powered Iwaki before, the heat the motor gives off will astound you, they get really hot. So, if you mount it inside a case just make sure that it's in the exhaust flow, not intake. Other than that, they're super pumps.
I added a graph comparing the Swiftech MC655 vario to the Iwaki MD20RZ(T)
