noise from under the hood after drive
 
My car is 2009 3.5d, maybe 3 or 4 out of 10 times, after driving and shut down the engine, I can hear some noise under the hood, at the front of passenger side.

There is a square box, with a bunch of tubes on it, behind the DEF filler. Does anyone know what that box is used for? I feel the noise from that box or that area. Not sure if this noise represent something is about to fail or it's normal. The noise goes away after 1 or 2 mins.

Here is the video I took just after driving, You can hear oil is dropping back to the pan. The noise goes away close to the end of video.

That is the active tank and the transfer pump is filling it up from the passive tank.Normal vehicle function,nothing to worry about.

Thanks guys, I believe bawareca's answer is correct. I know my car's passive tank is empty because I got 1000miles no start before and I refilled active tank only.

After I filled 2L in the active tank again, there is no more pump noise coming out any more for now.
