What I have found is that the gas tank is usually the culprit when you hear
the pump making a noise especially if the tank is original.  Change the
filter first to see if that does anything, if not then most likely the tank
is dying inside.  Nothing lasts forever.  Installing a new gas tank with
all new seals, and a new pump is a great idea to avoid replacing the pump
every six months or so.
