Dramatically. It'll slow way down and go to a clicking sound once the carb's float seals off the flow or it builds pressure against a closed valve. >>Does the pump, being mounted directly to a block of wood floxed to the floor amplify the noise? << I'm sure it does. Welcome to the club! >>Should I put a rubber pad between the Facet and the block of wood to dampen the noise?<< You could, but I don't know if you should. It'll probably be annoying while in the ground testing stage, but once you're flying, you might not even notice it. I'm hoping to have that clicking as a barely audible "OK" indication from the fuel pump. Erratic operation might be noticeable. I'm in the middle of the fuel line and oil line thing myself. Of course I've now discovered that I'm about 5 fittings short of making it all work. And I ran out of firewall space last weekend...
