Some are some arent. I have an electric lo-pressure hi volume pump on my ranger (5.0, AOD), and that thing is loud. It also matter how much gas you have in your tank. EFI pumps are "wet" pumps, which means they have to be submerged to help keep them cool. Try to keep your tank above 1/4, that should help with the noise.
But on another note, my dads T-bird, the pump on that is VERY loud, the less gas it has in it the louder it is.

My 88 and 93 sounded the same. My 93 is just loud enough to hear at idle... but thats it.
