Winey Fuel pump.
My fuel pump is making a high pitch sound. Sort of like an old water faucet. It is not real loud but and annoying pitch.
I read in old post that this is normal for many GM pumps.
Any one have luck suppressing the sound aside from using 200lb of Dynamat? Like just a little around the tank.
How common is this issue? It's a 2002.

Noticed it after I entered it. How do you fix a thread title. Whining is what it is doing.
If it was making wine I would be celebrating.
Maybe the moderator can help fix the title.

You're right though, it's not that loud, but it's at just the right frequency to be annoying. I have terrible hearing, and can still hear it. (Damn you tinnitus!

Can't tell you how common it is, but my 2004 whines too. It seems like it's mostly noticeable when the tank gets below 1/4, so I just try to keep it above that. I ran some Techron through it last year, and I swear it was a little quieter before the next fill up, but that was probably just my imagination. I'm sure most cars make the same noise, but very few have the gas tank right behind the drivers ***, so you never hear it. Even my FI motorcycles have loud pumps, until the engine starts and the exhaust drowns it out.

Change the filter could be stopped up a little that will make the pump work harder and wine more trying to pump gas through the filter.. and the pump over time will burn out and bam no wine and no pump or might be going bad .Need to check pressure may be going south .. One of the first sings of going bad is getting a little loud.. After you change the filter and check pressure and al is good ,just drive it ..

I think people are mocking the way I butchered the title.
It's cork sniffery.
The content is appreciated though.
I will change the filter next time I get it up on jack-stands. That should be soon. I might try a little Dynamat behind the seat.
