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.
