It shouldn't be for 5 minutes, only about 3 seconds during priming and then when you're going you will hear the fuel pump going as well. It's a bit noisy but I guess the trade off for the high flow and affordability.

i've been in about 35 240sx's with walbro fuel pumps. It's normal for it to whine while running. If your interior is stripped you'll hear it much more clearly.
