Sorry I didn't read this post sooner (I'm not into silent computing). I'll bet what you are hearing is cavitation.
Hook up the pump with a 2 foot loop of 1/2" tubing with just a 1/2" ball valve in the loop. Run the pump and slowly close the valve. If it's cavitation you'll head a sound like the pump is pumping alotta air or, in the worst case BB's. If it is cavitation the only cure is to remove restriction fron your loop....or a less powerful pump.
