The usual high pitched whine of an upgraded pump will be replaced with an intermittant lower whine that sometimes breaks up.

Another good point that I should mention: don't run your tank dry before refueling with an upgraded fuel pump. The pumps make more heat due to their increased capacity and the gasoline is basically a heat exchanger. If the pump is un-immersed more than it is actually immersed, expect less pump life as well.
