Some hydro's do have more whine than others but all have some noise. Did you find any metal chips or shavings in the bottom when you changed the oil? I would use it as long as it keeps moving. I had an old Jacobson gear tranny that was loud but I used it for 2 years and never got louder and is probably still whining.

My 1864 with only 135 hours on it is pretty whiny too. Since it increases a bit when the power steering is turned, I can only assume it's pump noise.
No issues. Works fine. Just whines a bit.
