Hello Rod,
Bailey's are usually fitted with an inboard diaphragm (positive displacement) pump. These are inherently noiser that submersible pumps for two reasons, firstly they are inboard, amd secondly they have recepiricating components which produce far more vibration, which is transmitted through the panel to which the pump is fixed.
Have word with your dealer, as there may have been a factory solution. Sometimes fefitting the pump in a slightly differnt place may help, or you can get vibration absorbing isolation pads which may help.

Thanks Prof
Have mounted it on rubber pads and built a box round it with insulation inside, it drives me mad.
Far prefer the old submursible

I sent mine to Whale and they replaced some bits and returned it FOC it was improved but still not quiet.It was to Northern Ireland iirc and cost me about £10 postage they paid the return.
