Our car has 3rd row seat with air suspenstion.

Once the car has been parked a while, if there is any activity to the car such as remote pressed/door opened/tailgate opened. We can hear the sound from air suspension, but more likely compressing the air to raise the car not releasing air.

My understanding the air is released in standby mode, but any activity will wake up the car compressing air to air suspension and car will be raised, the car is put back to driving mode.
