    From the driving position it sounds like it is behind the dash on the left, my other half in the passenger side says it sounds like it is coming from behind the middle of the dash, to me it sounds like a noisy fuel pump?

    I think youll find its perfectly normal. mine does exactly the same. if you sit in the cabin and turn the engine OFF, after a few mins it does exactly the same. Its a combination of electrical trickery going on behind the dash like the climate etc.
