Default Mysterious whirr sound

OK, so I have to run this by the forum here.
When you turn off the car, undo your seatbelt and pull the door handle to get out there is a brief whir sound. It appears to come from behind the dash on the extreme left side. I don't have the power steering wheel adjustment. So, it;s not that.
You hear it to? What the heck is it?

Steering wheel lock. Search is your friend and it's been covered many times in here.

* Whats that noise
* what is that sound when opening door to get out

I sometimes hear clicking and crackling sounds after driving around for a while throughout the body of the car, but no whirring. Oh well...

Yes, I did try a search for "noise" but that didn't turn up anything relevant. Didn't know what else to search on.
Sorry for being redundant.
