hi there.. mine buzzes for more like a minute..
dosconnecting battey has no effect.
it stops if i pull the pipe off that goes to egr valve...the noise is actually caused by pressure or vacuum but i have never found anyone who could say why it does it!
did you ever have any luck?

That EGR is vacuum operated. When you turn off engine
there is no more vacuum generated. Because no hose joint can be
100% percent air tight vacuum start to fail. In EGR there is small plate with spring
that operates valve. Vacuum is apllied on one side of the plate on other side
is spring. As vacuum start to fall that plate start to vibrate and that is the
sound you hear.

p.s. land rover forums, bmw forums, all sorts of forums have people reporting the noise from their egr solenoid.

hi there.. as a point of interest - some time ago i blanked off the egr and blocked the rubber pipe.
the noise occured as usual. i unblocked pipe and noise never occured after engine off.
egr back on now, by the way, and tested before removal of blanking by using the vaccum tube.
worked as you described.
p.s. noise actually more like 3 mins!

brajmobil... meant to add this..
if i didsconnect the vacuum pipe from egr, noise stops (obviously as vacuum lost).
BUT... if i connect again noise starts again for 30 secs or so!
if i put finger on end of rubber pipe i can feel suction.
as engine off and vacuum not being created... where is it coming from?
curious?

The brake servo.
Next time you turn engine off press the brake pedal 5 or 6 times until there is no vacuum left in the servo and see if the noise stops.

i was thinking about brake servo but would the egr solenoid not cut off or release the vacuum?
winding back to when i had the egr blanked, i found the car ran better with the vacuum tube that went to egr was left unblocked. if it was sealed, engine sometimes after car coming to a stop and then accelerating away would hesitate and sometimes mil light would come on and limp mode enabled.
this just happened on a test drive, on arrival home, i left engine running for a minute or so and then when i revved it, it hesitated like fuel startvation, i immediatley disconnected vaccum pipe and it revved fine again.
as this happened same when egr blanked, i can safely assume egr ok and maybe the solenoid is at fault?
p.s. vacuum was pretty high in pipe when i disconected it.
