Vacuum Pump Noise

How loud should the vacuum pump be?
I can hear it in the cab while at high idle during warm up.
Listening under the hood today it sounded like an air compressor that was nearly worn out. It is almost as loud as the engine itself.
Is this a sign that it it wearing out or is it normal?

Yours is a lot louder since it is on top of the engine.
