Default higher pitched buzzing sound from under passenger side rear seat...

Started the car this morning and heard higher pitched buzzing sound from around gas tank area outside the car and when I got in and shut the door I could hear it coming from under passenger side rear seat. Buzzing is constant except when hitting the throttle there is a brief interruption in buzzing maybe half second then it continues buzzing. This is definatly new sound and it is annoying inside the car and outside. Can I damage anything if I drive till it fails? What do you people think?

Default Is it an electronic hum type of sound?

I posted something a few days ago about this same thing. When I switched back to my summer tires is when I noticed it. It has not gone away but it definitely comes at tire-level at the rear of the car. Sound very similar to yours. Mine is a distinct electric-hum type of sound. It does not increase or decrease depending on throttle (you can't really hear it even if you're moving - I have to be still to hear it inside).

Anyone have some ideas on this?
