John,
I have been quite successful in changing the natural vibration
frequency of pipes by using ty-wraps.
I will try to describe verbally.
I take one heavy duty ty-wrap and wrap it around the pipe, but not
too tight yet.
I then another one and wrap it around a pipe, structure, etc that is
close by, but not too close, again, not too tight.
Then, I slip a third ty-wrap under the first and second one and make
a loop.
I then tighten the first too, and slowly tighten the third one until
it is snug.
Then I operate the machine until I see how it vibrates. I carefully
tighten the one making the loop under the vibration is abated.
be careful, can overdue.
Has worked for years.....
BTW, wimpy ty-wraps does not work well unless you are doing the above
with only electrical wire.....

The additional suggestions in your post are excellent ones.
I am a little nervous about the flex hose section. They are prone to
fraying if rubbing against anything and I have seen such fail with
disastrous consequences. The lines that really worry me are anything
with diesel, oil of any kind, etc. that can burn and that is under
pressure. Such is the source of a major fire.
I would prefer to have all such materials contained inside solid pipe
of some kind. Anti freeze coolant, water and such are not a fire
hazard even under pressure and I don't worry as much about them leaking.
I wish that the hose used in these fire hazard materials had a red
colored layer just below the outer skin such that if it frayed the
red color would be exposed and maybe be seen in time to avert a
complete failure. This is one of those simple to think of ideas, but
difficult to find solutions.
