Replacing the fuel pump

Yep, 'on the way out' means failing.  As said before, the pumps aren't normally noisy so that does need investigating.  Ideally you should do some diagnostics though otherwise you may go down the route of replacing a series of parts without solving the problem.  It may be something down the line which is putting strain on the pump, which you'd want to rule out before possibly damaging a new pump.
