Now I don't mean to interfere, my fuel pump has had a whine in it for years
and works fine.

This would tend to indicate a problem on the suction side of the
pump. Where does Mellow Yellow keep its fuel filter(s)? Normal
candidates are small square one before and/or very large cylindrical
one after. If the one before gets clogged it will cause cavitation,
likewise if the tank inlet is obstructed.
