Perhaps a friendly mechanic with a stethoscope could poke around and help
pinpoint the most likely source of the noise? (-;

Hmmm....I've read of a buzzing sound from ABS pumps. Dunno where they
are on 04s. But you don't say if the noise is external of the engine or ???

ABS pumps aren't running unless the ABS is engaged.

High pitch whine (like a hyrdolic pump under load) was belts on mine. The
belt that runs the alternator was a bit worn and not right.

It can also be the alternator itself.

Does the noise go away once it gets warmed up a bit?

As I recall, there was a stuck relay or some other issue on some soobs
that made it buzz. Might have been a TSB or reacll too. But I think they
were models years older than the 04 in question.

I posted last weekend the same thing with my 2004 Subaru and no one replied, I was getting frustrated and then saw this thread with everyone having the same issue!

My high pitched whistle happens (or at least is noticeable) AFTER I turn the car off, so I don't think it's belts, and it's not related to being cold. There are no warning lights on, it starts fine, so it doesn't appear to be something that's draining the battery. It's really running fine, but the whistle. It stays on for quite some time - over 2 hours one time - after I turned the car off and it was sitting in the garage.

Any clues are really appreciated. Thanks! Theresa

Just got the word from the dealership today. Turns out it's the
"keyless buzzer" - the thing that makes the chirping noise when you
use the fob to lock/unlock the doors. Moisture got into it and it
needs to be replaced. $99 - I told them not to worry about it and
just disconnect it since we don't use it anyway.

just thought you guys should know.
