Odd mechanical squeak in cabin when turning car off

Every few days or so, when I turn the car off a rather loud whirring/squeak will emanate from somewhere inside the cabin. I haven't quite worked out where yet since it's a brief sound. Might be AC vent doors, or possibly even a door lock as it coincides with them unlocking. Does anyone know of a servo that would actuate when shutting down or heard something similar?

I also considered the fuel pump, but it sounds like it's from inside the cabin.
 
Yes, same here. Don't know what the origin is either. Nothing to worry about of course.

I have it as well and all it is are the auto door locks unlocking. I'm not sure they could be oiled or anything, but it certainly isn't anything to worry about.
 
Hey guys, first post. Been lurking for a while since i got the Cx-5 last year.. The door lock is the cause of this squeaking. The wife and I took a video and showed the dealer when we took the car in for its second oil service... They have since ordered the part, as far as i know it is now a known 'issue' and is being repaired at no cost.
