I got a used Eheim 2260 and it us very noisy, sounds like a huge air pump.

I don't know how long it has been running before. I have applied Vaseline on impeller shaft. I am using old hoses from Fluval FX5.

Whole noise comes from the pump itself.

I don't want to rush into buying a new impeller/shaft or anything because I got a used one to save costs.

Anyone got any solutions?

Fixed, added rubbers (cut rubber fishing lure actually :D) under screws of pump. It stopped the horrible vibrations. Hope this helps someone.
