"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
It seems D4 pumps do that type of noise . Quote:

It's not really a very quiet pump. You might try dampening it by wrapping some foarm around it, or if possible, you might try suspending it from the case frame with elastic or stretch magic. Do you have any dampening material between the pump and the case? The case may be amplifying the noise--especially if it's aluminum. Bruce |

its bolted to the case with the bit of foam that they supply inbetween the case and the stand.

I was planning on mounting mine with industrial velcro. I hope that works.

That would work better becasue ther is no metal/metal contact as you would have with bolts. Velcro works great for pumps, especially if you attach velcro on top of some foam and then the foam to the case.
