What is your filter PSI reading? You mentioned that the pump is close to the pool so I would expect a low PSI reading and thus low head loss.

One thing that can increase the noise of any pump is when the plumbing has very little head loss. The water flow is high so it tends to create more noise. For example, I notice this when my solar is on and pump noise is less.
