Walrus pumps - attic or shower pump for hallway

A plumber has recommended a Walrus 2.0 bar pump (I don't have the exact model number) placed in the attic (sound dampened as much as possible). This would be to pressurise water coming from our attic tank (hot and cold water). Throughout the day, in the attic may not be a problem, but at night it might be because it's over our back bedroom.

I've been told it's quiet running, but I can't find any information on noise ratings or generally the kind of volume it throws out when running.

We're deciding whether to go with an attic pump that pressurises the whole system (all hot and cold water for showers, toilet cistern, washbasin, kitchen sink) comes from the tank(s), or to go with the more traditional shower pump only that gets used only when we're showering and would be placed in the hot press (and even still, we'd be looking for a pump that does the job and sticks to below 55db.

Any thoughts?
