When the vacuum pump starts working, there will be loud noise which is not unusual at all.
From the vacuum pump starts working until ther case becomes vacuumed, it takes around 2 minutes.

You may not hear the 'Push' sound. Thus, please check the vacuum system after waiting for longer than 2 minutes.
