Fuel pump noise.

So I just changed my fuel filters and now the pump in the tank seems to be loud. Any suggestions on what I may have done wrong? Thanks.

Did you follow the bleed procedure in the owners manual?

I ended up cycling the key more. It started and died, so I had to cycle it more. When I shut it off there is a buzz sound under the hood near the filter, but I know it did that befor

Fuel Pump

I ended up cycling it more to get it to start and it ran a couple seconds and died. So I cycled more then, it seems to run fine, just the pump seems to be louder than normal. There is a buzz under the hood near the filter when I shut it off, but it seems like I have heard that before.

Do you think you're just paying attention to it now that you changed the filters? Like, it's always made the noise but you never paid attention because what for? That's what I'm thinking...

I suspect that you didn't get the filter installed correctly and it is sucking air. I would redo the installation carefully checking the o-ring and such.
