Rubber mount the pump properly. And is that even an 044 ?

There is a direct solid connection to that filter ( which IMO is too small ) which in turn is directly connected to the swirl tank which is bolted solid to the floor. All of that will transmit and amplify noise.

But boxing after that will also help.
