MB (Bosch) fuel pumps should hiss when normal...a buzzing pump indicates impending failure.

It is also the sound of a fuel-starved pump (usually more of a growl instead of a buzz). My electric pump on my VW does this when I first start the motor, then quiets down after the fuel pressure goes nominal.

If this is the case, then this may be a fuel pressure issue caused by something other than the pump...the pump may just be echoing the woes...
