Water pump noisy...
Quick question.... My water pump is located under my kitchen sink area and it is pretty loud when it's being used. Instead of spending money on getting a new quieter pump, has anyone used insulation ...

But hey, if you choose to not believe the video proof I provided then go ahead and ignore this solution which absolutely does solve the problem. :R

What you have demonstrated proves something alright......but NOT the problem at hand.....since it does NOT really reduce the vibrations AT THE PUMP. IT only proves that sound waves diminish with distance. This is true regardless of the transmission medium.
IF....the offending noise is transmitted directly from the pump body to the frame of the RV, you can put a hose a mile long on the outlet and it won't make any difference.
You're being argumentative simply for the sake of it and everyone here knows it. :S Of course, isolating the pump helps BUT that alone is not the solution ... adding a long length of soft potable hose to the pump output is - noise will be dramatically reduced, to the point where you'd be hard pressed to hear the pump running at all.
OR - stick your head in the sand, continue to offer silly arguments to the contrary, and continue to listen to that pump of yours rattle away. Your choice - I could care less what you choose. :R
