I can hear a whoosh sound from the fuel pump when the ignition key is turned. I lasts about 2 seconds then goes quiet. There may be a very faint hum that is constant when the key is forward also.
It's normal. The pump works for about 2 seconds to build pressure and if the engine doesn't start it will turn off. If you heard the pump making noise, most likely the relay is not the problem.

I checked the service manual and there is no information on what to do in case it runs out of gas. I never had to do anything after the engine runs out of gas. Usually you just add fuel and crank engine until the system built pressure.
