High pitched whistle under the hood

I have never heard high-pitched whistle after the engine turned off on my 2016 CX-5 GT and my current loaner - a 2017 CX-5 Touring. May be my hearing needs to get checked? (dunno)
We don't get i-ELOOP on CX-5 in the US, what is the flux capacitor about? (uhm)

Mine doesn't do it either. But I removed my flux capacitor, so that might be it. (silly)

Do you do that to prevent the smell, or some other reason?
Since I haven't had a Mazda over the summer, do other people find the AC gets smelly from mold, etc? I know some cars get it bad, others not at all.

LED headlight fans cooling them down is my guess?
Do Mazda's have this (uhm)
I think it’s a joke.

I just checked my 2017 CX-5 loaner and you're right, The noise is more like humming noise from a transformer coming from the throttle body. It'll last about 30 ~ 40 seconds each time I shut off the engine. I've never noticed it because I always have my music on and can"t hear the hum from engine bay.
Definitely not from AC unit and LED headlight cooling fans. No way it can be from flux capacitor as it doesn't exist!
I hear it too - very strange.
I'm not sure if you've experienced this as well, but in mild temperatures, I can hear a whining that tracks the acceleration which is really starting to drive me absolutely nuts. It sounds like an electric golf cart, or a similar sound to what you would hear if you were driving a normal auto-trans car in reverse. Here's a link to a video for more context. https://youtu.be/0XzQCTB7lsM

It's odd because it always makes that sound to some degree, but more so when it's between 0 & 8 degrees C. I have had it into the dealership 3 times complaining about it, and they say that they didn't hear anything weird/it's normal. I have only had time to drop it off before work and leave it, but I think I might bring it in, and ask to test drive one on the lot, because I certainly don't remember hearing that noise when I test drove one before buying.
