What was found

UPON LEAVING KGMU, WE NOTICED LOUDER THAN USUAL CABIN NOISE ON TAKE-OFF. UPON QUICK INSPECTION WE REALIZED THAT CABIN PRESSURE WAS EQUAL TO OUTSIDE ALTITUDE AND WE HAD 0.0 PSI DELTA P. WE LEVELED OFF TO CONFIRM CABIN ISSUES AND REQUESTED A HOLD BURN DOWN TO BELOW MAX LANDING WEIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO DIVERT TO KGSP. PLANE/CREW AND PASSENGERS ALL SAFE AND WELL.
