I switched to a rotary pump also, and it helped a lot. However, there is still vibration on the drip tray, which I can resolve by pulling it forward slightly. I'm still thinking about a way to insulate that from vibration. Up top what you were looking for is a silicone baking sheet that you can find at home stores as someone already mentioned. They are something that gets used to line a cookie sheet for example and they're made of silicone rubber so are heatproof.
