Question Wierd whistling/humming sound coming from rear of 98 caravan.

Don't know if anyone has heard of this, the best way I can explain it is as an electronic whistle/humming. The sound is coming from the rear of the van, and no, not when it's moving, even though it still does it when moving. The only thing I can think of would be the fuel pump. Because It's loudest just before the rear tires, not after them. My fiancee has heard it twice now, when she first heard it, I didn't, but this last time when I heard it, I also noticed that the gas gauge was reading just below 1/8 of a tank.

Has anyone else heard of this, or experienced it?
Would like to know if it's the fuel pump or something else I'm no thinking of. And if it means I have to replace the pump.

Yes, fuel pump. Keep it above 1/4 tank and see if that quiets it. It may be cavitating.
