Default fuel pump whine???

i got told from the previous owner my car has a uprated fuel pump,however i havent checked it as its always made a whining noise and iv assumed it it true..
does a high pressure fuel pump whine when you turn the ignition on?

My JDM STi emits a "hum" more than a whine but it's audible on turning the ignition on, you can hear it pressurising.

I think even with a standard pump you will hear a slight noise when switching on the ignition. Its completely normal. Uprated pumps are noisier though.
