    Hi all

    Moving into new house soon, air to water heat system in place.
    At the base of the water tank in the hot press is a pump that makes an awful loud noise every time a tap is turned on or a toilet is flushed.
    Is there any way to insulate or dampen the noise of the pump?
    Read a bit online about making a box to surround it or placing some cork or foam padding below the pump.

    I think the issue is more airborne noise than vibration through the floor boards.

    Hi! Have you found a solution to this and if so may you please share? My new house is a nightmare too because of this noise. Thank you!

    I would love to know if you found a solution? Our water pump drives us mad it's ridiculously loud!
