Oh, all right, I'll tell you what I know.

Many pumps make noise, sort of a buzz, or whine. It may increase when turning the wheel.

I've had more than one "reman" pump make a lot of noise. So much so, that I had to replace it under warranty.

Ford pumps make noise more than any other brand.

Toyota pumps aren't known to be noisy. Was the ebay one a used one, or rebuilt??

One reason I tell people to buy from a local parts house is the warranty. You can just return it for another one.

Also, I don't buy rebuilt stuff from Pepboys or Autozone, because they sell the cheapest crap they can get.

So what if it is warrantied for life, I just can't afford to keep using that warranty.

You can try to quiet the pump down by adding a cup of LSD additive from BG (sold thru repair shops)
BG LSII
Limited Slip Axle Additive Concentrate
BG LSII is designed to prevent chatter in plate and clutch type limited slip differentials. BG LSII may be used with any GL-5 gear lubricant in limited slip applications. It is also excellent for eliminating chatter in full-time four wheel drive transfer cases. The ingredients in BG LSII smooth and quiet operation of gears in the differential and fortify the additives in the gear lubricant.
Part No. 328
6 oz. (177 mL) tube
...................
or some Ford LSD additive (get at dealer).

If it won't quiet up with one of those, it ain't gonna get quiet.
