Default weird humming/hissing coming from under car.

I pulled into my garage today and heard a weird humming/hissing. After looking around, it sounds like its coming from by my gas tank or something. I oringonally thought it might be an exhaust leak, but I felt around for a while and couldn't find nothing. Then I thought it might be my fuel pump...(I have a Walbro 225 hp intank)??? But when I listened in the car I couldn't hear it coming from under the seat...

Does anyone have any idea what it might be?

Could be your exhaust is touching the body of your car somewhere, and isnt tightened all the way. When it vibrates it would make that sort of noise.

Its the walboro I have one and it does the same crap. Its pretty much unpredictable although I do notice it more when I over fill gas tank and/or run it dry. Want another reason? Since there is nothing mechanical, at least that I can think of, back there anyway.

Yep. I'd bet dollars to donuts (how many times do you read THAT on here...) that its your fuel pump. I have the Bosch intank and it does the same thing... EV.
