C43 vacuum pump issue

Guys I have an intermittent hum coming from right rear. I assume it's the vacuum pump or an electronic relay. It happens every 6secs and seems like it's trying to lock the doors. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

usually if you have a leak the pump will turn on and off trying to regulate pressure. Do you hear a hissing sound like air escaping? Listen next to your doors when you lock them.

Thanks for the info. I figured it out. It's a leak in the seat adjustment. I really appreciate the response.
