Hello,
A normal /new fuel pump makes very little noise when the ignition switch is turned on but a faulty fuel pump -although it may still maybe working ok for now it does get very noisey at the end of its life and may quit working at any time so it would be wise to figure out your alternatives ahead of it's usually untimely demise.

Good Luck!
