    Any thoughts on what the electrical humming sound I’m hearing underneath, in the rear of my 2017 Prius C might be?
    It usually occurs several hours after the vehicle has been driven. It lasts for a few minutes and then stops.

    For that location and timing it is probably the evaporative emissions test taking place in the fuel system. Nearly every (gas-burning) modern car does something similar. Completely normal.
