Default Odd noise

We took the car out for a drive today for about 300 km. Great day and a great ride When we got home, I could hear a constant high pitched humming noise-it wasn't too loud but even my wife could hear it. I got out and stuck my head near the rear tire well and it was louder. I rev'd it and the noise did not get louder or go away. I filled the tank about half way through the trip.

HELP! what is this? I am wondering if this is a fuel pump issue but I don't know. I did not search because I didn't know where to start.

thanks for the info!!!!

Just to clarify, this is normal (well...for a C5) and I don't need to worry? or is this a sign of an upcoming failure?

Again, thanks for the quick help.
