Strange noise near battery sounds like a garbage disposal

Car has not been touched in over a decade, 1987 Limited with just 75k miles and now got tuned and went through from A to Z. I had the car out two nights in a row no issues. I park the car Sunday night in the garage. Monday morning I wake up and go to open the garage and I hear a noise coming from near the battery. Sounds like the noise you hear when a garbage disposal is running or a noise you hear with a power line current or voltage noise next to a power meter connected to a house or apartment/building.

Everything works fine and I haven't started to dig in to really see what the issue may be so far. I disconnected the battery and it went away. Only did this one time and I think that noise may have gone on all night.

What are the issues I am looking at or should check? Thank you in advance!
 
Antenna motor? Mine made a noise like that when the cable in it broke. Will keep running until it kills your battery.
 
X2 power antenna , It's the only thing over there to make that noise & I'm sure you would notice the fans if they were running :eek: .
