front fuel pump whines

Since i got my truck, the front fuel pump whines when it's on. I haven't checked my Fuel pressure, but there is no decrease in performance. Also the overflow drains into the rear tank like many of our trucks, and at the rate that the overflow drains into the rear i'm sure that plenty of fuel is getting to the injectors/rail.

Should i be worried that the pump might die on me sometime?

Well said dude! I just replaced my front fuel pump and it's the noisiest damned thing I've ever heard. My truck runs a like a dog with it's a$$ on fire so I deal with the whining.
