Default Walbro fuel pump rumble/groans? 255lph

I have a walbro fuel pump installed in my 97 Civic. I noticed it would make a rumbling or groaning noise ever since it was installed 6 months ago and the noise would come and go. Very noticeable during idle. Strong enough to vibrate the car.

I also notice my fuel pressure gauge needle moves a lot even though it is liquid filled.

B&M afpr
440 RC injectors
stock wiring to the pump

Only experience I have with the Walbros was on a 90AWD Talon. Sound was a louder whine but no rumble.

Ive only heard my walbro pump make a whine sound when i turn it on. Its just putting pressure back into the lines after its sit for a while. Never heard of a pump making a noise like that when its idling and the system has bled out all the air :S
