I'm having a problem with my wifes car. When I put the key in the ignition and turn it forward partially (without trying to turn over the engine) there will be a strange clicking sound like 3-4 times followed by a constant high pitched buzz/beep. This is not the key left in the ignition beep or headlights left on beep. It is much quieter than those beeps, is constant, and is definitely coming from under the hood. There is no moving parts in the engine that have turned on at this point.

Anyone have any idea what this might be? Should I be worried? As you can tell i'm pretty automotive-illiterate.
