Pump vibration/noise

Hi guys.
I've got a Alphacool Laing D5 Vario Pump 655. Does anyone have any idea how noisy this one actually is?

Its going in a Cosmos 2 build, in the bottom section near the HDD array, at least that's the plan so far. However I was wondering if an anti vibration plate/foam would help?

I was going to be sound dampening that compartment, but that's no good if the pump vibrates like crazy.

Hi, yes a anti-vibration pad will help, my pump is on one.

So it vibrates a lot then?

I have that pump with an EK top, it doesn't vibrate much but it depends on your case how much it will resonate, my case is bad with vibration so I have it on a shoggy sandwich and that makes it silent.
