Lots of rattle in the shower wall when pump runs

Hello,
I am a new owner of Cruiser Aire M-25RL 2017. I got it home, filled the tanks and turned on the water pump. However, when the pump is running there is a very loud "rattling" in/near the shower wall. I know pumps can make some noise, but this is obnoxiously loud. Doesn't seem like it should be that loud.
Anyone else have issues with this? Or any thoughts on what might cause it.
The shower by the way is above the pump/water heater area.

It's probably the water lines vibrating when the pump is in use. You can try and place foam pipe insulation on the water lines if you can find the access point. There should be an access panel on the opposite side of the shower valve wall.

Not surprised. Happens at times. Foam pipe cover could help if you can access it.

If the water pump doesn't have flex lines coming off it, that will be another source for rattles to. Also if it's the original water pump, they are notorious for being noisy.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks everyone.
I am new to the "fifth wheel" world. Access to this pump/water heater area is a little tricky. It's nice to have such quick responses and information, so I appreciate it. I will probably try to insulate these lines somehow and place the pump on a foam pad or replace it.
thanks everyone!

A surge tank could help reduce the impact of the cycling pump, they are less than $100 US at Camping world. Installed on the output side of the pump.
