Aren´t they coming from "inside" your ears.
Trumpets?
Do you have your radio on?

RE: Trumpets sounding at the rear!

Yeah fuel pump was what I was thinking but he says he hears it with the engine off after he parks. That doesn't make sense unless the pump continues to run after he turns the motor off?
Too little information to make an effective suggestion. When its making the noise, get out of the car and walk around it as low to the ground as you can, let us know where you here it the loudest.

If he's hearing what I think he's hearing...
Is it like a (very) faint whining sound? I hear it too sometimes, and it keeps on for a few seconds after I shut off the engine. You can hear it only in the car, NOT when you step outside, right?

RE: Trumpets sounding at the rear!
