Quite often it is all location. Another factor is how it is plumbed to the house. I've seen flexible lines that go from the pump to the main plumbing of the house that is supposed to reduce the transferred sound. If the pump starts each time the toilet is flushed, you either have a MQ3 Grundfos pump, or a tank system that needs to have the pressure increased in the tank.
