My pump is in the airing cupboard but makes too much noise for her
indoors. I am thinking of enclosing it in some sound isolating material
and have seen some in homebase. Trouble is i think its about =A335 a
pack of 5 when I only want one or two sheets. Can anyone advise where i
may be able to get this stuff in sheets, I am in the Thames Valley, or
advise an alternative solution.

A plumber warned me not do something similar. He said the pump would
overheat.

Also, you may find most of the noise is by "conduction". Is the pump
touching / screwed to a solid surface, aka sounding board? Also, the sound
will be transmitted through the pipes. Flexible pipes may reduce this a
bit, but the water will still conduct the noise.

Have you suggested earplugs?

Not touching anything except 3 layers of carpet and it has flexi
connectors. Might suggest the earplugs.
