Noise from RR wheel area after engine shutoff

I only notice this in my garage and it is coming from the right rear wheel area. it sounds like a motor is still running. it happens for a few minutes after the engine is shutoff. Could it be the fuel pump still operating?

So do you get that same noise (like a small motor running) when you shut off your engine or is it something that I should look into?

you get the same sound when you unlock the car
like the fuel pump is priming or something

Exactly. Or it could be all of the starship'esque electronic systems powering up/down.
