Default FUEL PUMP NOISE??

I bought my s2 erst nearly 3 weeks ago and every time ive driven it its started straight away the second u turn the key, hot or cold, the cars not tappety doesnt smoke on startup on boost/overun, last night id driven it all day (30 miles) got home parked up, i then went back out to the car 15 mins later and it just turned over but didnt fire up, i did the usual checks under the bonnet, i then put my head under the car to see if i could hear the fuel pump prime, i couldnt hear nothing so i assumed the fuel pump/relay might've been at fault, the fuel was just above the red and i was parked on a slight slope so i got a can of petrol put that in then tried again, after 5 seconds it fired up( low fuel was the cause), whats baffled me is i cant hear the fuel pump at all?? is this normal as i assumed u should hear it prime when u turn the ignition on? cheers
