Maybe try pulling the stereo fuse and see if the noise quits. If so, your stereo needs some sort of servicing.

do you have a PAL unit installed. (personal audio link) This is usually a dealer installed unit. At one point the unit lost its programing and keep the NAV unit on all the time. Once I reprogramed the unit in the car again all problems went away. One symptom I had I could not select and XM bands when I could previously. XM2 was my connection to the PAL (IPOD Connection) Other symptoms where a clicking noise every few minutes from the passenger side foot well, and a dead battery. 2010 GS

My thought is it is the reason for your dead battery, these cars have so many electronics including looking for the fob. When I first got mine and was removing the fuse for the exhaust on the passenger side floor, it sounded like I was in a computer room (kind of). I'd put a tender on it if you go for a couple days without starting and if issues pop up, then start looking...

My car makes this sound also and I believe it's normal. I've read others commenting on it. I do have an aftermarket radio installed; do you?
