Default Noise when opening driver's door

I am not sure if this is something that is normal and that I shouldn't worry about. Everytime I open my driver's door I hear a noise. It almost sounds like a small motor running for half a second and that it is supposed to be there, but I am not sure. Has anyone else heard this?

Thanks

Edit
I went out and double checked the noise, it only happens after I open the driver's door after I turn off the car. If I then close the door and open it again it does not happen.....

Haven't noticed it on my IS 250 but our Jetta does this, it is the fuel pump.

Sorry, I thought I had read every post on here and don't remember seeing that one, but thanks for the answer.
