Engine compartment noise 99-996

I went to look at a low mileage 996 the other day and when I started the car I heard what sounded like a loud fuel pump hum from the left side of the the car. I popped the engine lid and looked inside but couldn't locate it. When I turned the car off, it slowly "spooled" down. Starting it up - it spooled back up. It almost sounded like an electric fan of some sort. Other cars I looked at didn't have this noise.

Any ideas?

Thanks
