Default Noise from Trunk/Fuel tank area

All - I'm looking for some help. I just walked out to my garage and heard an odd noise coming from my GS. The car was turned off and hadn't been run for 6 hours. As soon as I turned the car to accessory and on (not engine running) it stopped. The sounds is magnified as I held the phone very close, but you could hear it from several feet away. Any help would be appreciated!!
