Whine from rear of 2000 gtp?

[Xanthous]

Theres a noticeable whine from the rear of my 2000 gtp. (more drivers side back by axle) Any ideas what it may be?

Best Heard at idle.

Thanks, Justin.

Whine at idle sounds like a loud fuel pump?

Am I correct to assume by "idle" you mean when the vehicle is stopped?

Are you driving backwards?

[Xanthous]

yes, as in park. A friend said he thought it was a fuel pump as well so that's probably what it is.

I probably won't worry about it unless its hurting performance?

Not driving backwards.

Does it sound like this?

Some guys will tell you GM did that on purpose so we knew it was still there. Personally a loud pump gets swapped out in my cars.

yup, alright I probably won't do anything about it. It goes away after a little bit of driving.

Fuel Pump. Its normal. My 98 GTP does it too. Personally I just tune it out.
