You could check your intake for anything that is lose / just check for anything lose. Or pop the hood and listen to it. If not there is probably someone that actually knows what they are talking about that can help you.

maybe a belt ? cause the engine would mask the sound when he's driving then when he stops he could be hearing a belt or a pulley squeakin? just a guess though

i was thinking a belt, or maybe the fan noise dude dont worry about it. unless its not been doing it for the entire time you had the car then something is probably up.

just take your belt off and run it like that, you should be able to tell if it needs a new belt, could be the idler pulley, could be the smog pump, could be a cam bearing, or could be the alternator.
