Default Can you hear your fuel pump?

As some of you know, I recently went TT... Everything is grand, but there is one annoying thing. I can hear a fairly loud humming noise and I think it is the fuel pump. I can live with it if it is normal, but I just wanted to make sure. I have the walbro 255lph in-tank pump.

So, is this normal? Thanks.

you can hear it stock.. just turn the key, and dont start the car.. you hear the fuel pump get primed quite interesting to me, because i usally wait for it to finish priming and then turn it over.. makes me feel like i drive a race car or something haha

if you can hear your fuel pump, then your exhaust is too quiet!
