Default Rear buzzing noise

I have noticed an intermittant buzzing noise from the rear driver's side that seems to occur only when the car is moving and I press the gas pedal. It is not related to speed or rpm, and only lasts 2-5 seconds at a time. It immediately stops if I let up on the gas. Any ideas?

I just had the column lock and relay recall done by the dealer. Could it be related?

As long as it functions ok, any problems with it making a noise?

No worries man. The noise is all too common, I have a '97 and it sounds like a swarm of angry bees. But I guess it is just all the HP juice running through its veins. There is a very easy solution to the problem. Put on a loud exhaust Maybe that is why I went with my Borla Stingers and gutted cats. What fuel pump noise?

What about the passenger side? I got a buzz coming from there somewhere and I can't seem to bust it.
