Default Weird noise from rear of car while parked and turned off

Several times I have gone into my garage to hear a weird noise coming from under the rear of my car, almost sounds like a small air compressor, like one you would plug into the cars power source. If I start the car and immediately turn it off the sound stops, otherwise it will continiously run. The sound does not always present but when it does the car is completely off and the key is not anywhere near it. Just curious if this presents on anyone else's RCF

Here is a video, you may have to turn up the volume, the video is dark as it was shot from under the car. TIA

I've heard the same from my RC-F and NX 200T. Found in another thread for the RX that the manual said it is the "fuel evaporation leakage check" that comes on after the vehicle has been off for 5 hours. Also same answer here... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...is-normal.html
I'm no expert though.

Nice, thank you Frog. It has been off for over 7 hours but I suppose it is normal. Thanks for the info and link
