I don't think they will be noisey as they are not the electronic type with solenoids, well i've never seen noisey injectors on a k-jet.
What sort of noise?

Take the drive belts off and run for a short time to check.

As said it wont be injectors.

run the engine and using a long screwdriver  put the tip on the rocker cover on the side of the noise then put your ear on the handle end and you'll hear it more clearly.

Also try the above on the alternator to listen for bearing wear.

MK1's idea is also good darts.
