You're damned right it counts as a failure.
I made the visual analogy long ago of the engineers all standing around the first time they fired it up and heard the crickets for themselves...they all looked around and began giving out "hi fives" to each other for what would only be considered an awesome sound that every owner would be proud to show off to their neighbor and other potential customers.
In reality, they probably cringed...likening the sound to that of an old, beat to shit engine that needs one or more belts replaced.
Nah, who am I kidding. They're quite proud of the noise the engine makes, that's why they keep making revised pumps that clearly cost zero money to redesign.
