Noisy v8 water pump?

Has anyone experienced noisy water pumps on the V8s?
My first pump ran only a thousand miles or was was growling .
The rebuilder sent me a fresh one & thought the first one looked really good inside.(upon disassembly)
This pump has maybe 8-10K on it and really growls. The sound really seemed like it was in the lower front of the engine but it was a great relief that it was not.
Quiet without the belt, noisy with the belt. Funny thing is, the pump feels really good, it's just the the seal(or something) that squeaks a little.
Has anyone here experienced something similar?
Thanks!
