    Check the mounting bracket hasn't rusted away they tend to make a kind of high pitched humming noise if they arn't secured properly

    If so cable ties are your friend!

    No fuel flow (or low in this case?) will cause your pump to sound louder

    Meaing your reserve fuel tank pump is working which pumps fuel in to the main tank - perfectly normal for it to sound like that. Just stick more fuel in!

    Can you just do away with the reserve tank? I'm sure I have read something somewhere about that.
