Strange Noise When Touching The Accelerator

[Chris Aaaaa]

The Auris seems to have developed a new noise, just as you touch the accelerator it is like a small noisy electric motor starts up, it is engine speed independent.

Is it a sign of a fuel pump dying, does the auris have a system that switches off the fuel pump when you are not touching the pedal?

Mine has this as well (after only 19000miles) so i doubt it is the fuel pump. Most likely the pedal box developing a squeek, check the runner on the peddle is not loose as this can move and cause funny noises :)

I am prettu sure it is electro mechanical, it keeps going ant the same rate all the while you have any presure on the pedal. Like a noisy motor engaging.
