    You can spend money on the quietest pump out there but if you get an awful or even moderately awful plumber to install it, it will be the noisiest pump out there.

    Sound is mitigated by Good installation. Copper pipes and wiring properly secured down and flexible pipe to the pump. Pump needs to be secured to block about 1.5 times its weight or concrete floor via silicone sealant to both mitigate vibration and hold it fast.

    With poor installation you'll be head melted.

    Good pumps have brass internals for sound absorption. They will be more expensive obviously
