Could you just change the timer on the filter to the time of day you are not
in the room?
My next question is. Is there a window near by? If there is, 90% of the
noise is coming in there.
Pool pumps are usually not that loud. Unless you are just very noise
adverse. See if you can find one that is less noisy.
The enclosure idea would, most likely, cause the motor to overheat if it is
exposed to the sun at all or if it is too small. Some pumps come with covers
but I was told not to use them because of the heat they create.

You should start touching it and find out what part is making the
noise. I'll bet it's the pump on top of the cinder block. Put the
neoprene between the two.
