Did you maybe hit the fuel pump kill switch on the passenger side kick panel?
How do you know you have fuel? Did you check for pressure at the fuel rail?

Obvious question, do you hear the fuel pump kicking in when you first turn the car from the OFF to the RUN? (but not START)

When was the last time you replaced your filter ... if you've let the tank run low on a regular basis a clogged filter is always a possibility ... and as the pump tries to push through a clogged filter it might make a different noise.
