    Any thoughts on what the electrical humming sound I’m hearing underneath, in the rear of my 2017 Prius Two might be?
    The times I’ve noticed it have been several hours after the vehicle has been driven. It lasts for a few minutes and then stops.

    It may be an evaporative pump for the fuel system. I believe it is a normal sound.

    Is it this, from page 8 of your 2017 Owners Manual?
