Yeah I see now someone still has the issue with the new pump but it is not as bad as before. It also sounds like it reacts differently to different quality gas. I rarely ever use the gas that is reported to cause the chirp. Pretty much only use Chevron or 76 which most people report works fine.

That's the wrong thread. You want this one:
Engine idle chirping (cricket) noise poll.
Be sure to read all of it.
I appreciate your optimism, but the "new" pump does not improve the crickets. My 2014 has the "new" pump. I have crickets. Most of us do. They are just as loud as the old crickets.
Chevron and 76 do not necessarily get rid of crickets. I have found that Chevron in my area is usually quieter than Shell, but it's not consistent from station to station. The only thing that is consistent is that if I fill up at Sam's Club (Murphy Oil), the crickets will scream like nothing you've ever heard.
I found an ethanol-free station. Ethanol-free gas did not exterminate the crickets. Some people have had good luck with it, but my car is living proof that it's not a reliable solution.
Enjoy your crickets when they come, which they inevitably will. Just relax and imagine yourself out on the porch at dusk with an adult beverage.
