    Sounds like mine, been that way since I bought it 4 years ago.

    It's sorta gets less loud as the car warms up or I just hear it less LOL.

    Fuel Pump. I installed a Cold air intake on day one so I don't remember if the air box was loud but my fuel pump is somewhat worryingly loud, but it has been like that for 3 years since I bought the car.

    On an interesting note my buddy with a 2002 Bonneville with 110k, replaced his fuel pump assembly and noticed a noticeable increase in fuel economy. Doesn't make sense to him or I, but he has seen an increase. Don't remember either pump being noisy but the Bonneville is a different platform so who knows.

    I was worried about mine and at I think 202000 miles on my 00 gtp it went out and I bought a fuel pump online for it and it increased to almost 27 mpg while my 98 is at 24 both city but that dic ain't 100% accurate cause I reset my miles and on the interstate I drove till the dic said 1 gallon used and my miles said 30 miles so I figured 30 mpg on interstate, better than our 03 Se

    Your GTP should get better mileage than the SE. I have an 02 SE that got me roughly 24 - 27ish mpg highway. 3.1L engine. My 99GTP was getting me 31.9mpg on a 400+ mile hike from Michigan to Wisconsin. That was me driving between 60 - 75 depending on traffic. Also made like 3 stops along the way. That was with a completely stock engine and exhaust too.
