Noisy fuel pump

Just bought a new uprated Bosch fuel pump for my Ecos and it seems to have got really noisy. When I first fitted the pump it seemed to be fine but after about a week it seems to have got louder. Should I be worried as I thought a noisy pump meant it was on its way out.

And if the pump is re-wired and sees a decent voltage then it buzzes even louder and sounds excellent
