High pitched hum from the engine

I have a strange high pitched sound coming from my engine area and I'd be thankful if anyone has any ideas about what is going on.

The sound:

When it happens:
- When the key is turned to ON

When it stops:
- When the key is turned to ACC/OFF or engine started
- When I remove the EGI COMP2 or EGI INJ fuse as well as the Engine relay; removing EGI COMP1 does NOT stop the sound.

Although it doesn't seem to be harming anything, it is annoying

Its the throttle body fully opening and holding itself there.

It does that.
