Default em1 loud humming

2000 civic si
mostly stock,
83k on car
issue: loud humming


the car started around three weeks ago to start humming very loud. it sounds as if the sound is coming from the rear, so im wondering if it could be a fuel pump. the car did have a bolt missing on exhaust causing an exhaust leak, but that has been fixed for about a couple months now. could this humming be another leak somewhere or fuel pump? any help is great thanks!

Oem fuel pump or walbro?

Have you recently added any parts? I hear some humming from under the hood, almost sounds like it's coming from the intake. I've noticed that after adding a huge intake like that could attribute to the under hood noise. It's also hard to tell from the video, would be easier in person. The sound from the rear almost sounds like a walbro pump, but like I said it's hard to tell in a video.

from the first video, it definitely sounds like your fuel pump is whining/humming

Does the noise change based on the fuel level? Sounds like a fuel pump from the back of the car.

yea the car was at half today, and wasnt making the noise. i filled her and the noise started.

im wondering since the car is basically stock would a walbro be a bad choice over a stock oem?
