You need to go over every connection and re-tighten it, especially if the pump is a jet pump. They are notorious for being picky about air leaks down towards the well ( on the suction pipe). ALL connections should be heated as you tighten them to ensure an air tight seal.

How can air get into water pipes water is supplied via a private well often when you turn on the shower or flush the toilet you hear gushing noises for about 10 seconds or so?
There are 2 ways air can get into water pipes:* Some showers, garden hoses, and other appliances have a relatively long pipe between the valve where the water is turned on and off and the end. When you turn off the water, that pipe slowly drains/evaporates and fills with air. When you turn the water back on, it may take a surprisingly long time for the water to travel from the valve to the end.* All water has small amounts of dissolved air in it. Often that air comes out of the water, forming small bubbles that float up through pipes, collecting in air pockets at the highest ends.
Why do I get air in my pipes after the the water softener cycles?
Air accumulates in the water pipes after a water softener cycles because the water softener stops the flow of water during this time. This usually only takes 5 to 7 minutes. Air builds up when the pipes get empty.
