Electrical Buzzing?

Anyone know what it could be? Hearing it coming from under my 2011 F250 6.7. Been there since I bought it in July. Normal?

Sounds like the low pressure fuel pump.

Is this buzzing when you turn off the truck? Does it stop after 20-30seconds or so?

It could be the DEF pump pumping out the DEF from the DEF dosing line.

It is all the time as far as I can tell. Turn on the truck and could be idling for 10 min warming while I am loading stuff and go to get in and you hear the buzzing under the truck still.

change the fuel filters and see if that helps? Only use OEM fuel and oil filters.

That might cause a constant electrical buzzing?

Put an ear close to the DFCM and see if you can be certain that is the noise you are hearing. Filter issues will cause the LPFP to become noisy.

Not under the truck but the 2011 has other noises within the engine bay. A bad wastegate solenoid will make a buzzing noise while running (KOER) and several seconds after shutdown until the actuator moves.
Additionally, anytime the BCM activates parking/interior lights, there is an electrical buzzing type noise for one second. I recently discovered mine does this at random as well, which I can't see is normal though. I was near the truck, it had not been started in a week, the key was in the house and it made the same noise it makes when I unlock the doors except nothing occurred visually.

That's the DFCM/LPFP. Does it make the same noise key on engine off until it shuts off after 30 seconds?
