Thanks guys ....It seems to start this sound once the engine starts to get warm....Most probably when the thermostat starts to open in the heat range....Seems like I have read somewhere about this problem before but can't find it anywhere.....Thanks, m320

Can you hear it with ear plugs in and helmet on? If not, then I don't sweat it.

It's probably just the fuel pump. Fill up the tank and see if the sound is less noticeable.
