RE: Buzzing Sound in Dash
It's probably something it caught from the Land Rover...
Seriously, it's normal..is it real faint just after you get in before you turn the key..if yes, it is the HVAC system's aspirator pump sampling the cabin air for temp adjustments when you start the car..Perfectly normal..and yes it shuts off about a minute after you turn off the car and close the doors.
If not that, it's probably the defrost vents rattling..There is a replacement vent the dealer will put in for you..under a TSB #or something like that.

As FJT will tell you, they do turn off after a period of time. But they will turnon again as soon as you open the door. To verify, leave the window down when you get out of the car and go back and stick you head in after thirty minutes and you should not hear it. Mine was a little too noisy and I got it replaced under warranty. The new one is still audible but much quieter than the old one. FJT told me they get dust bunnies in them and it makes them loud, or sometimes the motor goes bad. Either way I got it replaced. But the first service tech didn't want to do it. I had a second tech listen to it and he agreed to replace it.

The aspirator motor can run for up to 20 minutes after ignition off. The dust bunnies get sucked in there with the air that it is monitoring. You can reach up under dash and pull it out. It is a two piece motor. Clips in and the base is bolted in. Just pull it straight down and it will come out. Clean it and then put compressed air through the vent prior to reinstalling. The air can damage the motor itself. They are supposed to be silent. The dirt makes them noisey. They will replace under warranty if you are still under factory warranty. Otherwise, live with it or clean it.

Yes it is behind the little grille to the right of the steering wheel. You have to get your head under the dash. Remove the underscuttle panel and use a flash light. You will see it up there. Pull it straight down toward you. It is hard to get to. Welcome to the world of being a tech.
