It may be time to post some sound files of the noises. I think there are a few different sounds that we're talking about...

Mine makes that little noise, in the rear. Like a little buzz, a slight whirr. Somebody said before it was the fuel pump pressurizing, in anticipation of starting. It uses the doors unlocking as a pretty good predictor of somebody trying to start it soon. Makes sense to me.

I get that noise irregardless of whether I am driving a car with or without air suspension, auto, manual or smg tranny. I figured out that it must be normal for all cars to make that noise adn so shouldn't even be a concern. Specifically I heard these noise coming from a honda civic, X5 3.0, M3 smg and now 545....so.....shouldn't be a concern...
