Help me identify a part

Hello all, On my 05 250 PSD, there is a small "box" on the passenger inner fender with a couple of vacumme lines attached to it. It seems to make a buzzing sound(like a small hand held air compressor) from time to time and so I wondering what it is and if it is important (like if it is malfunctiong, will I be stranded). Sorry for such a "stupid" question but I'm new to diesels. Thanks!
