You may be hearing the fuel pump. Turn the ignition on without starting the engine and listen carefully for the fuel pump. It will only run for a few seconds if you do not start the engine. Is that the sound you are hearing? You may also be hearing the blower motor which runs at it lowest setting continuously on some cars.
