Is there a quiet water pump?

I’ve got a PAR 36950-1000 belt driven water pump that has served me well, and in my opinion, is pretty quiet. I thought it would be nice to have a back-up pump, so I tried a couple other pumps out since the 36950-1000 is expensive to buy new. The 36950-1000 isn’t made anymore, but the 36950-2000 is the same thing and can be seen here: https://www.amazon.com/Jabsco-36950-200 ... 66&sr=8-18
I tried both a Flojet 1202.1050 04406-143A Quad II Water Pump 'Quiet Quad' and a Precitrade Shurflo 2088-554 Fresh Water Pump, 12 Volts, 3.5 Gallons Per Minute, 45 Psi.

Both the Flojet and the Shurflo primed right away and had great flow, but I thought they were loud compared to the PAR
36950-1000. The Flojet was quieter than the Shurflo, but they both created a vibration/hum that I could not isolate, and that seemed to resonate throughout the camper.
Anyone have experience with a pump that is truly quiet, or at least doesn’t sound somewhat like a small air compressor running in the background?
