Some of them are noisy. Level of noise is not indicative of time to failure though. Some noisy ones last the life of the vehicle.

Try replacing fuel filter. Might help a bit.. Or not

But I know what you mean... The whine can be annoying.

Okay,this is what I did,I have a lot of mods done and I monitor them with 2 wide band air fuel ratio sensors,my fuel pump started making noise,I record qtr mile runs,I saw that after the noise started in the fuel pump the AFR was high like in the 14 s. while making runs ,way too lean so I immediately changed pump and filter problem solved.i mean if this is a new noise I would change the pump,

80 psi at idle and then it will drop to 65-70psi when you drive
