My wife bought a rolling cart from Amazon thats big enough for the FD on top and oil pump on bottom shelf. I think it has a 150 lb weight capacity. You can definitely hear it run but its not obnoxiously loud but she rolls it into our wash room where you cant hear it at all.
We have the same freeze dryer and wife has done deer steaks eggs and sausage ,million dollar spaghetti ,various veggies and a lot of candy(Its crazy how much people like that stuff) Tip: Put it on its own 20 amp circuit because it doesnt take much more than the freeze dryer to make the breaker trip.
For meat that i am processing(canning,grinding,sausage) I debone and freezenin gallon freezer gags with all the air squeezed out and have left them like that for up to a year before processing . Thaw out,process and refreeze. Roasts i vacuum seal
