Intermittant buzzing underhood

I've only had my '96 Limited for a month or so. It had a sound system, and a bunch of hack job wiring for some dumb interior underseat lighting, a bluetooth connectivity, there's an ethernet wire for something, and some other crap. I traced, cut and pulled out all the wiring for the stuff I took out, so there's not much aftermarket stuff left anymore.

But, ever since I first got it, it makes an intermittant buzzing sound under the hood. I first thought it was due to wiring issues, but I'm pretty sure it's not. It sounds like a trapped bee. Like a zzzzz......zzzz.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Completely random, and only when the truck is off. It sounds like it's coming from the area between the intake manifold and the main fuse box.


Help??

Search "evap canister noise" or "charcoal canister buzzing". Mine did this and there is a $25 part to fix it which (as far as I know) has been discontinued. TRDparts4U (that's their YT screenname) found me one and it fixed the buzzing. The noise is caused by escaping fumes from the gas tank as far as I understand.
