I certainly wouldn't put up with it.
No, I don't care. And I certainly have choices, I could put oil in my gas to get rid of it, and introduce an unnecessary and disputed foreign agent in my fuel system. I could have the dealership replace pump after pump until a proper one comes out, waisting both of our time. Or I could raise a big stink with Toyota and get all stressed out trying to lemon law my car or something along those lines. All of that over a sound that is simply odd/different/weird for a car. It does not sound "clapped out", it is just unusual. I choose to enjoy the car for the reasons I purchased it and not let some trivial thing bother me. If a new pump comes along under warranty that gets rid of the sound for good, great I'll get it replaced when it's convenient. Until then I don't care.
