Yes for sure. The sounding board really helps transmit the "vibes". ;) I considered adding some kind of isolator. Maybe I'll slip a piece of old coolant hose under it. Should still clear bottom of lower shelf. FWIW, the pump does have little grommets on mounting feet. But, I'm sure they don't much to reduce noise. Should stress that this isn't field tested yet. Specifically shower head flange to sink mount w/silicone. Should hold up fine though. Speaking of which, I would bend the inner edge at ID of flange, in and away from hose. It's sharp. *Minor* detail, but this should keep it from rubbing hose over time. BTW, the pump itself ain't cheap. ~ 100$ Cnd. with taxes. Cheaper in the U.S. so says Google. http://www.adventurerv.net/shurflo-nautilus-single-station-water-pump-gpm-p-1713.html Up here the little "stock" pump is 35+$ Cnd. I figure the new ShurFlo should out last a couple of them. I look forward to work being done so I can use it in the real world!
