Could be.. Not the fuel pump itself working obviously, but could be air escaping the vacuum system. You do know that the gas tank is a sealed system right? Air can escape there with the car off and release the vacuum. Depending on how it does it it can release that air and make noise.. Kind of like a car-queef. :eek:

haha yes i know the tank is a sealed system my dad is a mechanic and i used his snap-on solus scanner to check a code awhile back and it was a evap code and as soon as i saw that code i replaced the gas cap and it hasent come back again.. but its really hard to explain the sound lol maybe i will try and catch it on video one day

it is verry faint and doesent last on about 5-10 seconds and then stopps for about 10 mint hen happens again..

and it really sounds like a old cell phone vibrating under the seat.. but i know its not haha.. i need to walk around the car with a stethoscope
