[I changed 3 pumps trying to get read of wp sound. First two it was
whining. Third one
sounds like warbling, maybe. It does noise in 1200-1400 rpm range. At
least I can hear
it. Gave up after listers responses saying they also have for years.

Most likely culprit is the tensioner pully making the noise (like a turkey
gobble) because the water pump tension is too tight. Common problem.
Relieve the tension just a tad, or live with the noise until the tensioner
dies(not usual), or possibly will stop making the noise eventually(after
about 10k miles).
