You should hear a bit of a hum if you are right next to it.  If you hear it
while the engine is running at a stop light there is a problem coming...
especially if it is really noticeable.  I have in the past changed the fuel
filter and things improved slightly as the pump doesn't have to "suck" as
hard.

I would look into it sooner than later as I have know a few people who have
been stranded at that red light when the pump did pack it in!

  I'm a new Vanagon owner and am concerned about my ability at hearing the
fuel pump buzzing away while sitting at stop lights etc. It is a relativly
new pump. Do all vanagons do this

  i would have checked the archives but couldn't access the web page.

  thanks
