Buzzing from engine when switched off!

What is the buzzing sound that comes from the engine after you switch off. It lasts around 1 minute then stops.
Is this normal?

Never heard it on my FL2, but on other cars I have had two possibilities spring to mind.

1. Fan overrun on radiator, normal when engine is hot.

2. Electric oil pump continuing to run oil through turbo until turbo oil temp reduces.

I am sure there are some wiz kids on this forum that know the answer.

My car doesn't buzz when it's switched off, but there is a high pitched tone from the engine, I've always thought this to be the ECU. Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

Yeh, it's a high pitched sound, you can only hear it when standing outside the car. Very Happy

The sound seems to come from the front right hand side indicator grill and sounds to me like it could be coming from the air condition system. I wonder if the noise is there if if the engine is turned off after not using the air-con. Question 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Maybe it's all the hamsters that run on the wheel inside the engine relaxing and turning their little tellies on

If you don't lock the doors the hamsters go on standby. They smoke, have a coffee etc.

They don't relax till you lock up. Hence no tv noise.

I need to get out more. Very Happy
