High pitch noise coming from passenger side

On whine I hear is the fuel pump.

Roo,

The ignition switch is in the on position and it could very well be the fuel pump. Would the fuel pump go off in neutral?

Excuse my newbie question since I have only had the car a few days and don't drive it. How do you turn the ignition switch on a car that does not have an ignition?

Push the ignition button once quickly for ACC, twice for on and hold to start.

It's not the fuel pump, I think you can hear the fuel pump pressurize whe you first switch to "ON". This is higher pitched. I noticed it when I was burning a disc to the music box. Car "ON", in gear, but not running. Hadn't noticed anything about shifting to neutral, but I think this isn't related to OP issue as I don't hear it when driving.

Edit:
Ok, just went to the garage, it does go off in neutral. Seems to be coming from right under the engine cover near the firewall, almost dead center. With a closer listen, it almost sounds like you can hear something like a disk drive spinning as well so maybe it's associated with the Music Box although it wouldn't make any sense for it to be connected to being in gear.
