Buzzing doesn't sound right, but then I don't have much to compare to.

Having just put in *new* pump, I would say that's not good. I can hardly
hear the new pump from inside the car, when I prime it, whereas the old
one was *very* loud (kinda like a low pitched hum). I can't imagine how
loud it was from outside, but the engine is pretty loud too, so it might
have drowned out the pump...
