Default Fuel pump

I posted a week ago about changing my fuel filter, the reason for the post is because I have noticed that my fuel pump has started to whine really loud kinda like the fuel pump on my truck.
My truck has always made this noise and never failed,it's a '98 model I am just wondering about the Vette because it just started this noise about 2 weeks ago. It's an '03 model with 15k miles.

Any ideas?

I remember that the fuel pump on my wife's 98 Suburban used to whine too - right up til it died last year. My 97 C5 does whine some, mainly when it gets real hot, but so far, no problems. They are known to be noisey, but I don't know how that impacts their life expectancy
