    Obnoxious electrical interference noise from fuel pump area

    Title explains it. There is a really weird annoying fairly loud electrical noise coming from the fuel pump area. It drives me crazy. any ideas? Maybe it's not electrical? It just has that interference type noise to it. Almost like that noise computer speakers will make when a cell tower is syncing to a phone. Except this is constant.

    Might be the pump that is making the noise.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        It's so fucking obnoxious. Anyone know if it's an omen that my pump is going bad? Or does it just add character?

          i think this may be a sign of it dying...having said that my red car had some fuel pump noises and then it went away mysteriously!

            hmm. Lets hope that it goes away. If not I'll just throw on a used fuel pump and see if the noise dissapears. Thanks guys.
