Not sure if you're hearing the high pressure fuel pump or the normal fuel pump that is in the fuel tank.

As for why GM chose a mechanically driven pump vs electric, going to have to ask them. I believe GM uses electrically driven HPFP's for their other DI engines( the LFX in my dads ATS starts right up).
