having open section would allow sond to escape. Kind of like when you have a hole cut in front of the computer case.

that's what I was thinking of.

it's going to work like a heating element in an oven. it's going to get too hot without some circulation.
Kobuchi's muffler walls idea would work better, except you'll need a bigger box, that pump is almost 11" long plus the tubing. I don't know how well the heat will move without a fan (more noise) It'll have some place to go, but it'll sit mostly in the pump's chamber w/o some air flow.
Is it possible to add metal mass to the motor housing? or a heat pipe?
though a fan in the chamber with the pump may work. You can get very quiet AC fans. Though I don't know how quiet.
adding noise to reduce noise :shrug:
