My van is making a howling noise sounds like a siren off in a distance. I have heard several things why it is doing this. Can you tell me what it is? The van runs fine.

It makes the noise all the time from start to shut off stopped or going down road it is the fuel pump I know cause I have been told by many people and it comes from the rear. But, I have been told these vans do this and I have been told it is ready to go out and also that it must have been replaced before and they didn't put it in the insulator what ever that means. I am female and don't want to get taken so, not sure if I should replace or not. Van runs fine. Just not sure if I could get stranded or not?
