Some afermarket fuel pumps will be a little noisier than the orignial ones (this is "normal" or a least the "new normal").

Is the noise bearable or do you have to really crank up the radio to drown it out?

Another thing, sometimes the pumps come with various rubber bushings, grommets, etc. Be sure that they are in place.
