Could be a solenoid for "something". These cars are so damned complicated now, it's hard to figure anything out.
I'm so glad I managed to get my creaking steering wheel sorted under warranty, that was a simple bit of trim rubbing as the clips that hold the silver wheel faceplate were broken, but how that was broken in the first place is beyond me.
The only thing I can think of is the the previous owner thumped the horn so hard it broke the clips around the trim.
EDIT:- Actually, if it's been sitting for a few days it might just be the fuel pump running to build up a bit of pressure in the fuel line before you start the car. My 325 Compact does that, and it's normal if the car has been sitting for a while, but then it runs for maybe 10 - 20 seconds, not 40.
