The noise does go away, on my 2013 STS. Don't know if its a relay for the parking brake or what?

You may have missed it the first time you read the owners manual but that is normal. The throttle bodies are held shut for 40 minutes after turning off the key. Maybe time to have a refresher read of the manual.

You only need to post this question on one forum.

the length of time that sound continues will vary. Manual says 40min but mine will vary depending on how hard I road and how wet I put her up...let it run its course...this must be the post before you start shouting... really hurts my pupils....

"Fellow member told me to look on page 55 right hand column of owners manual under the words ALL MODELS****THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL(ETC) EACH TIME THE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF, THE ETC MOTOR STAYS ENERGIZED FOR 40 MINUTES. THE ETC MOTOR WILL EMIT A HIGH FREQUENCY SOUND DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME THAT CAN BE HEARD IN A QUIET ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. "
