Unless this is your personal experience, use caution how you advise others. And if it is, say so.

I have had the same Holley red electric feeding the same Carter mechanical and dual quads running on the car for eighteen years. The reason for the electric is to provide a head of fuel for the mechanical on cold startup (which stopped killing the battery) and it runs all the time for the top end RPM feed. And you never hear it over the header noise unless it's really a mouse motor. Hearing it is not a bad thing, it tells you it's working.
That's my experience.
