Normally idle problems are down to injectors, as small inaccuracies in injector volume or spray pattern, makes the largest proportionate difference to the engine.
The LP pump shouldn't be noisy though.

Run a few bottles of Comma Diesel Magic through the system. That's a good cleaner, and can restore injectors that have spray pattern issues.

Sometimes a noisy low pressure pump is due to it being a replacement non OEM version. Mine is the same, works ok but the sound gets a little annoying after a while! Trying to find an OEM version to replace it but they're not cheap!

I heard one the other day that was changing tone while the car was idling, I'm thinking pump or filter or both are needing attention? What happens if you don't empty the sediment pot and it fills up??

Yes. I put one bottle to half a tank for an initial dose. It can't hurt to put in more than needed, in fact the engine runs nicer with Diesel Magic in the tank.

I drain mine once a year, but there's basically nothing in there but fuel.
