Question Noise while engine is off!

I have a 2011 highllander limited and periodically, a noise comes from underneath when it's OFF. Yes, when it's off. I'll go out into the garage and hear it humming - quite loudly. It will quit if I get inside, turn the engine on and then back off. Does anyone have a clue what this could be?

Thanks in advance!

See the "Humming/motor sound" entry in the DIY: Common Problems & Solutions sticky.

It's your emission system making that noise and is normal. Read about it in your owner's manual.
