My electric water pump is loud. You'll hear it whining, cycling, when the heater is turned on, after it warms up a little. I actually had them replace it, but I can still hear it. Just somewhat annoying. It's loud, like passengers ask what that whirring is.

This happened to mine within the first weeks of ownership. Very odd, I shut down the car and in about 5 min. it was ok, never happened again. I did take it to my dealer who found nothing wrong.

I am told there is a supplemental water pump used for the heating system that is purely electrical. They replaced it once, so it's in there somewhere!
