I agree - that's almost certainly what it is. I'm not sure what all the whining is about.

It certainly sounds like the kind of sound that could be a fuel pump. The only thing is, our fuel pump is on the tank itself, and the sound seems to come from up front. Maybe the sound just carries funny though.

In any case, it doesn't really bother me, but I do hear it, and I just wanted to track down what the hell it is.

Is the fuel pump in-tank since I was thinking the fuel pressure regulator would be situated in the engine bay. If that's the case, then the regulator is loud. 350Z had this noise whose pitch changes when you rev it. It's loud on cold starts.

I notice a possibly similar noise. It is an intermittent high pitched whine that seems to be coming from the center dash behind where the nav system would be (I don't have the nav system or sports package, pretty much just the basic touring). I hear it only when moving and it does not vary with engine speed or car speed. Road noise does not cover it up. It sounds like one of the highest frequencies I hear on a commercial airplane when flying. It can continue for minutes or hours and stop for the same random amount of time. It isn't my tinitus as I can ignore that and it will go away, but it has a similar pitch and doesn't go away! Really kills the enjoyment of driving the car.

That was my first thought as well.
