Humming Noise

Hello Gentlemen,
Beginning yesterday after a 2 hour trip i took, my 93' 400E began producing a humming noise near the rear right wheel. It sounds as if something is running, like a motor or vacuum pump. I'm not exactly sure what it is but it is directly connected to the system, not part of the main fuse box, and it doesn't stop under any circumstances. Any input would be appreciated before i take it to the mechanic.
Thanks,
Al
