Exactly.  Some will even add foam pipe insulation around the first few feet of water line for extra vibration protection.  Another option is to add an accumulator tank, too.

I added an accumulator to my 1999 toy hauler, while it stopped the pump from short cycling so much it didn't really quieten it as I recall.
The pump in my 179 is marketed as an "accumulator not needed", and sure enough it never short cycles.

Pump started making lot's of noise. Lifted cover to HW heater and moved hose away from metal it was banging against. Problem solved. Foam insulation and/or a few zip ties would probably be a better permanent fix.

Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks!
