Re: why are inline electric pumps so loud?

They are friggen loud eh? My summit knockoff of the holley red is deafening. Even with that sheet of paper (rubber) behind it.

I don't understand that either. In tank ones (stock pumps for every fuel injected car on the road) are dead quiet. Don't ask me why in line ones are so loud???
