A Buzz at Idle?

Ok, so for the past week or so, when the car is idle I can hear a constant electronic type of buzz or elongated beeping sound. I did a search to check any known issues like that, found nothing. The car seems to be running just fine, it's all the boost it should. No loss of power, it has oil. It has a fresh clutch/flywheel. The buzzing sounds like it's coming from behind the console. Any ideas?

I'm not sure, should you be able to hear that outside the car over the idle of the exhaust?

I've heard that and i'm pretty sure it's just the walbro fuel pump. I really hear it when it's idling in the garage where the sound reverberates more.

Possible it maybe the walboro, but wouldn't that sound be coming from in the back of the cabin? I hear it behind the console.

Well the walbro is under the rear seat so if you hear it
from the back of the center console thats probably it.
