Exclamation new power steering pump loud!?!

Just bought a new power steering pump the one that you have to take out the old one out of the resevor. I replace it cuz it was making noise like the bearing was going out. Well got the new one in and that noise is gone but now the new one hums pretty bad.. There are no leaks and the fluid is at proper level. Could this reman pump be a bad one? Thanks just wondering if anyone else has have this problem
