The whine comes and goes with throttle movement. I can make it stop by moving accelerator back by a few milimieters and start again by moving it forward so I'm thinking it's injection pump as revs are barely changing surely belt would be unaffected by small movement of accelerator?
It starts suddenly at about approx 2200rpm and sounds the same as revs increase. The sound stops if i release the accelerator completely or if I put accelerator to near the floor.
Weird isn't it?

to answer the original question i would not think not running a lift pump would cause the noise
