Walbro Whining Noise

Ever since the summer triple digits hit, i hear a loud whining noise coming from the back from where the walbro is located. It only whines when the AC is on and when the cars been running for a while. Some dude told me that the noise is a sign of a bad fuel pump, but then my other buddy said that the noise is a standard walbro. So is it time for me to get a new fuel pump? if my buddy who told me it is standard is reading this, im not second guessing you..haha. well i kinda am.

I never knew they got louder as the temperature went up. I always heard mine whine but just recently it has gotten louder and of course the temperatures have gotten hotter.

With my back seats in mines pretty quiet unless it's around 1/4 tank of gas. When the back seats are out all I hear is that thing whining. Nothing to worry about though.
