Check your Vis motors, they are supplied with power for around 5 mins after ign off. If the Vis motor has a failed final drive inside then the motor inside the unit will run untill the ECU cuts the power.
Simple to check if it is them just unplug them and see if the noise stops. If it does leave disconnected until you replace them.

After you switch the ignition off, there is a standard whirring noise for about 5-10 seconds. This is completely normal.
If there is a problem with VIS, they will keep whirring until the ECU power cuts it off minutes later. |

If it is the sound like a scalectrix motor then it is an internal problem with the Vis, if it is more of a rhythmic rotating sound it is the flap behind the Vis that has sheered off. Either way needs sorting long term. .
