I don't know about the noise, but I have had two of their in tank pumps, on different cars, and never had any problems. I am running a Weldon 600A on this car and it's quiet. I am sure somene with an external Walbro will post up.

I can only barely hear mine at idle...but I think the hooker headers and magnaflows may drown it out.

I have used this pump on ls1 conversions and have had great luck with the unit, It is relativly quiet. I carry it in the store with -6 conversion fitting for ease of installation for 132.95
