Most cars with DI bury the HPFP under the intake manifold with insulation
Covering it. The pump is driven off the camshaft and due to the boxer configuration, placement is located at the head which is more open in the engine bay corner. That and lack of insulation due to weight saving considerations makes for a noisy pump..
Nothing to be concerned about... Just some more feedback from the engine bay.. An aftermarket exhaust will enhance the driving experience and drown out some of the cricket noise..
