Was the noise always there or did it recently appear?

I've been living with an intermittent pump noise for some time now.
Pump, tank, etc. were new at time of tank install and engine swap, and
the noise was apparent soon after that. Deleting the pre pump filter
and installing a post pump filter did not seem to change this. I'm
running the older style tank with smaller outlet.

Not saying your pump won't fail, but if it were me, I'd just keep an
ear on it and note if there's an abrupt change in noise levels.
