Twice now, after parking my sled in my barn where it's quiet, I have heard a very muted high pitch whine. It's not the fan. It's certainly some electrical component. The first time I heard it the sound stopped before I could investigate. The second time I heard it, days later, I restarted the sled and then shut it off. The sound was gone. Any thoughts?
Probably the fuel tank vent.

its air going back into the seat. mine does it also.
I heard it once taking a break in middle of dark swamp freaked me out! Its definitely something venting. So the girl snores a little. Nothing to worry about.
Hey maybe a Exorcism will get us more speed. Get that whining thing out of our sleds!

I wasn't too worried. Mostly curious. And I don't have much else to gripe about right now!
Real easy to know just loosen the fuel cap and see if it stops. If not you could always take the seat off and set aside to see if the nose goes away with the seat.
The Doo does it worse than the Viper and I'll admit I had the same question a few weeks back.

I do know that if your fan turns on and you shut the engine off, the fan will turn back on momentarily before winding down and stopping.
