Default Caught strange noises when parked

I thought I saw a thread mentioning this a while back.
I went out to the garage to deposit some recycling.
For the first time, after one year of ownership, I heard some
noise after the car had been parked for a couple hours.
Sounded like a fan or blender.

Answered my own question. I found this in another thread, a quote from the manual:

"Approximately five hours after the engine is turned off, you may hear sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel evaporation leakage check and it does not indicate a malfunction."
