Would putting rubber feet under it help to quiet it down?

No, the noise isn't coming from vibration, its the fan and air flow. Just a powerful wind-noise, nothing mechanical.

Currently found a hilariously ghetto solution of putting two chair backs to either side of it with bathroom towels draped over them, so that the noise is dampened to the sides (where we sit) but not directly in front of it (where the cold air is directed into the room).

Look ridiculous but did make the noise better.

Turn selector switch for HIGH-COOL to LOW-COOL

>Any advice?

System of a Down. Turned up to eleven.

while uncouth this solution does indeed work

If it looks like OPs pic, Get that thick pink insulation foam board and some nice wall panel pattern board, glue the two together and cut to cover the two sides of the unit with them/over that expanding plastic window stuff. Then cut a larger "FACE" plate with several vented opeings for the air intake and a solid opening for the control/power cord and of course the actual cold air vent. Will cut sound down to almost nothing AND make it look good. Will also leave you with something that can be used on both sides of a window/closet/door etc for privacy and heat/cold retention.
