My johnson(pump) seems to be somewhat loud. Is it supposed to be a loud pump or quiet. My pump is mounted horizontally with the enclosed bracket. With rubber grommets on the bolts. As I was writing this I just noticed one of the bolts is touching the bracket bolt so the rubber isn't doing too much. I'll report back once i get a good isolation

It's supposed to have a small "whir". When I opened it up, I noticed that the surfaces of the brushes were scored, so the brushes don't make a full contact. I don't know if it's intentional or not.
The pump would have to be encased with something to block the noise, but since it can run fairly warm, some ventilation would be required.
I plan to use a couple of heatsinks I have, and bend them so that I can thermal Epoxy them onto the pump housing, and see if I can cram them inside the shroud to my heatercore (heads down, aka motor up).
