Dick's post is one way of taking care of your problem by changing out the pump. It sounds like the pump is loosing it's vacuum for pumping if the pump keeps running and by turning on a faucet on and off quickly that puts it back it again. If you can fix the pump by replacing some of the valves or gaskets you can solve that problem also. To quiet the pump down you can mount it on a piece of soft foam or rubber to create a buffer between the pump and the floor also. Others have put a reservoir tank or whatever it is called and thus quieting the pump down also. Someone will be coming along I'm sure that knows the exact names for this process also.
