No, it's not normal.  I suspect it's running all the time and struggling
with cavitation _most_ of the time - the quiet periods are when it's
not having trouble.  You'd need to attach a fuel pressure gauge to the
system pressure to be sure.  First suggestion is to check the fuel pump
screen and remove it if it's clogged with brown stuff.
