It's depressurising - the pump creates a vacuum in the tank and it has a valve in there somewhere to stop it from imploding due to differences in pressure.

You can sometimes stop it by simply opening up the filler cap and closing it again.

It's just humming a tune Mr C, cos it's warm and happy.
Mine does the same.

My car used to do that. took me ages to work out where the noise was coming from! Just open the cap and it goes away for a while.
