1998 Malibu mystery problem or is it?

My Malibu has operated fairly well since I purchased it. The problem
that has started may have to do with the fuel pump. It makes a constant
whine when on and can be heard cleary when in the back seat or outside
the vehicle. I took the car in to a mechanic and he said that the noise
could be the fuel pump. The confusion I am having is that I just seen an
identical Malibu this evening and it was making the same noise. Is this
a normal sound? Or is this a possible manufacturing defect? Thanks so
much!

The noise is your fuel pump...And its getting more common on GMsIf
you have any worries just have your mechanic check your fuel
pressure...But the noise is a common thing

Had a Grand Am that exhibited the same noise --- for about 2 months until
the pump packed up altogether. Do yourself a favour, get it replaced before
you HAVE to.
