If they mounted the pump directly to wood, they may be creating an amplifier box like stereo speakers. I installed some thick scrap rubber under each leg which insulated the sound somewhat.

On most of the pump units made for RVs it is nearly impossible to take the load off of the motor to test for free rotation of the shaft.
A less likely source of the problem is for some metal scraping or some mineral particles to be in the actual pump assembly.
I'm not an expert on pumps, but I had some experience on my previous unit (which sounded like a muffled machine gun) with mounting noise.
There are some good people on this forum that might know more.
