Hi there,

sounds like a faulty valve in the pump, this will not be serviceable, you will need a new pump, i have have a number of noisy pumps through my workshop, and i would say in every case a new pump fixed the problem, also a noisy pump is a sign that something is starting to fail, and pump failure may not be that far away.
