Yes, the main pump is what I call the one under the rear seat. The one inside the tank can be called the "tank" pump, the "intank" pump, transfer pump, feed pump, or pre-pump. (And after reading Charles, add "lifter" or lift pump to the list.)

The main pump should hum quietly, like when your cell phone vibrates in your hand, but when it sucks air along with fuel, because of a failure in the tank, it sounds more like when you leave your cell phone on a glass coffee table.

There are some more ideas about checking the tank pump here: In The Tank
