what's that buzzing sound?

when my car is off, and i'm washing it or doing some work on it, something buzzes or hums for about 3-4 seconds, and it happens i'd say at LEAST every ten minutes, if not closer to every 5 minutes. anyone know what is this??

i've done a search on this but nothing definitive comes up.

I dont know what it is, but mine does it as well. So lets hope that it is normal.

I think its the SRS box. It happens in my car in the same situation and also when I first put it in drive and first gas pedal press.

Mine does the same thing every 2-5 mins when the car is off. I cannot pinpoint where its coming from but i know that its not from under the hood so don't think that its the SRS box.
