Try filling your car up with gas. Did the noise go away? Then it's the fuel pump. The pump is in the tank and is noisy and hot when the gas is low. The gas in the tank helps to cool the pump as well as keep it quiet. When the tank gets low you can hear it wine.

You should hear a Walbro 255LPH when the tank gets low, it's retarded sounding. (thats a high performance fuel pump for high hp cars 400+)
