Boy you have good ears.

Hook a jumper up on the fuelpump and run a tube from the pump discharge
side to a gallon can and run the pump. Squeez the bubber hose down with a
pair of pliers if it gets noisy it's probably going bad. If it stays just
humming it's ok. It wouldn't be a bad Idea to test the preaure while
you've got that jumper and test hose on it.
