Sound From Warlbro Pump

Just installed a new 255 Walbro Fuel pump and now I am getting a funny noise. It alsmost sounds like very light insect buzzing or the sound of Electricity. it is not really loud but is noticable and I am wondering if it is just normal sounds from the pump or if something is wrong. it really only whappens when I get on the throttle or when I let off it.
thanxs

Very normal. Mine sounded like a turbine engine all summer when it gets hot after driving hard. Now that the weather is cooler, I do not hear it anymore.

I just hope despite the noise that it performs well over the long term. I don't know much about Walbro and their reliability compared to Denzo and OEM quality. I don't want it taking a dump after X amount of years.

I know the GMC Syclones and Typhoons are running them aftermarket and those vehicles have been around over 10 years. Anyone know?

It is normal for the Walbro to have some sort of a whine to it.
