crcr, it might be a quieter without the zip ties binding the loops together.

I did run the pump without the zip ties, then with, and couldn't tell any difference in the volume level of the pump. The zip ties aren't tight, there is a bit of slack there. Without the zip ties, the loops fall all over, and I didn't want that. But I might just add a piece of dash cover carpet between the loops and the back wall.
I found that wrapping the loop of output hose in an old towel also contributed to dampening noise even further. At one our local Canadian Tire stores I recently saw some sort of round cloth padding much like furniture pads that might be even more effective if I could stuff the loop hose into it - gotta remember to check it out next time I'm in the store.
EDIT
Found 'em! Turned out to be Michelin Wheel Felts made of recycled industrial felt, the best part being they're currently on sale for just $4.99 Cdn for a pack of 4. I think I'll "sew" a couple together using nylon cable ties to form a bag I can slip over that 25' loop of hose I have connected to my FW pump output. Bet I'll hardly hear it run at all! :B
