Minor Mystery- Noise Behind Dashboard

My x5 has been parked awhile, while I dragged my feet in repairing the window regulator. I finally got around to it last week, and have been driving it regularly since then- all operating well.

Yesterday morning I opened the door to be greeted by the sound of (seemingly) an electric motor whirring from somewhere behind the radio- and not the blower motor. This was occurring with no key in the ignition. Car started fine, and the sound continued throughout my 20 mile round trip, staying on when I shut the car off at my midpoint destination. No combination of control activation seemed to have any effect. When I returned home, the noise had ceased.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
