Mine definitely used to do a sort of whimper - a bit like a small dog might when
you weren't taking him for a walk!  It only happened once pressure was up, and I
assumed it was the diaphragm vibrating as it allowed the fuel to pass - it would
have been passing air all along, as the bubbling into the tank was audible while
filling the lines.
