I'm looking for suggestions to deal with an extremely noisy water
pump. I've recently bought a top floor apartment and the water pump
is in an airing cupboard as is my cold water tank - it looks like the
builders of the apartment should have put the tank in the attic but
possibly the tank arrived too late and the attic hatch was finished at
that stage. Every time I turn on a tap etc the pump is needed - without
the pump turned on the water pressure is a trickle. The manufacturer of
the pump is Stuart Turner Ltd, the model is ST55 (I think) and most
likely this was put in by the builders about 8 years ago and is
probably a cheap model.

Even the expensive DabJet models are noisy. Pumping water at 3 bar isn't a
quiet sort of thing unfortunately. However there are some pumps where the
pressure can be adjusted so you might be able to come to a noise/pressure
compromise.

Alternatively there are crush-flat water tanks which you can get into most
lofts and then expand out to their full size. This is probably what you
really need if you can do the re-plumbing.
