You might hear a short noise when you first turn on the water pump switch which is the lines being filled. After that initial noise, you should NOT hear any noise UNLESS you are running water. If you do NOT have a faucet on and you hear a noise AFTER the initial filling of the water lines, you either have a hopefully small leak in the lines causing a lack of pressure OR you do not have enough water in your fresh water tank to fill the water lines. How much noise you hear WHILE you are running water will depend upon your water pump and how it is mounted - i.e. how much it vibrates while running.
