Default Intermittant buzzing

I have just noticed an intermittant buzzing coming from the interior rear,? side. It only happens when I press the gas pedal and the car is moving. I just had the dealer do the column lock recall. The car is a 2000 a4. Any suggestions? The noise is brief, lasting about 2 seconds each time it occurs, but stops immediately when I let up off the gas.

Is it coming from the driver's side? If so, it is most likely the fuel pump (annoying but harmless).

Wouldn't you hear the fuel pump under the hood and not toward the rear?

No. The pump is located forward of the driver's side rear tire.

Also, here is a thread on another forum which might be relevant:

I believe I will take it back to the dealer and see what they think. Anyone else notice any noise from the fuel pump after the factory column lock and relay fix? The car seems to work ok, and I have had good service and trust the service at this dealer.
