Sounds like a dying cricket or something... does that help?

Very odd though, especially after the engine has been off for about 30 min as you said.

That's an odd sound. With mine, I hear a faint squeaking noise after I turn off my engine for about 3-5 secs. I traced the noise and it seems to be coming from the radiator fans as they're coming to a stop. Don't know how u can lubricate that. But u can only hear it in a fairly quiet environment though, like inside a garage. Does ur GS do that too??

My cousins a tech at Toyota and I just got back from the Lexus dealer....showed them the clip as it wasn't making that sound at the dealer.
Cuz and other tech say its the purging valve....its purging vapour from fuel or something like that...so yes its to do with emissions.
LOL, the tech at the dealer says "if you don't see any warning lights, you got nothing to worry about"
