Hello,
Not sure where to post this, as I am a beginner, I post it here, thanks to move it if not at the right place.
When I open a door and the lights switch on, the engine makes a "bzzuit" noise pretty loud, same when lights go off.
It seems that the noise was not that loud at the beginning, is it normal? Should I worry and ask the garage to check it?
Thanks for your advice.
 
Some things start when you open the drivers door like the fuel lift pump in the fuel tank runs for a few seconds. But not normally so loud that you can hear it.
 
Anything else plugged into sockets etc will also suddenly fire up.
 
Hello,
Nothing is plugged in. Not even the fridge is on. The very audible noise does it at opening and closing of doors.
 
Hope you can here it.
Had to zip it to upload.

No, that is not healthy, sounds like a relay buzzing or a stalled motor.
(could be a relay in the BCU below the steering wheel)
(Could be a relay under the left hand seat (drivers assuming yours is LHD))
If you turn off the aircon does it do it? (thinking of a flap motor)
Is it only inside the cab or can you also hear it under the vehicle where the fuel tank is (thinking of lift pump or adblue pump)
