BillD's pump house is a good idea. One can simplify it by down sizing it and using just a hinged slant roof instead of the A frame roof. Actually BillD would not need to have a separate cover for the compressor. The compressor could easily operate in the open sitting inside the pump house. Set the pump on an piece of foam rug padding to help dampen the sound.

I also built a similar smaller pump house of the ground out of a large plastic dog house. Lid lifts off for access. Added screening on the bottom and louvered house vents near the roofline. Screened the dog entry way to keep the insects out.
