Default quiet electric fuel pump?

im currently running a holley blue eletric pump and want to change it out for a mechanical one but instead of doing the conversion i was wondering if there is a fuel pump that is quiet? the holley is out of control loud and i can't stand it. anyone know of a good quiet pump?

did you place a piece of rubber between the body and pump bracket like the kit suggests??? I know the blue pump is noisy as I have one but then again my car is loud so it usually hides the noise the piece of rubber helped but it doesn't totally solve the issue

i have not done that but i know that it still will be loud. does anyone know if there is a quiet one? on holleys website they have a new black bullet one that they say is quiet and it flows a lot of fuel.

I ran one of the mallory pumps, comp 140 I think, and it was WAY quieter than the holley blue I had. You could barely hear it.
