The noise you're hearing in the Diamond is probably the avionics fan behind the screens...there is one electric gyro in the airplane; the turn coordinator for the rate-based KAP140 autopilot, and it is BEHIND the MFD, so I'm not sure if you'd be hearing it or not.
Also, I believe there's two fans, one behind the PFD/MFD and another in the back behind the seats cooling the AHRS, so if you're hearing it from the back, that's most likely your source.

theres the video and the sound im tlaking about is at 1:25, but i found out what it was...its when u fire up the master switch, it is a pump back there that pressurizes the landing gear system and thats why if u just had the electrics on recently the sound doesnt last very long because the last time u had it on, it just pumped the hydraulic fluid into the gear system all the way full. pretty intersting i thought.

We don't have much of a formal classification system in the airline biz, so we kind of have an informal, common sense approach....if a stranger on the internet, who is obviously not qualified on an airplane, asks how to access an external compartment on a specific model, perhaps we should not tell him! If he needs to know, he will get it in training.

I'm 99.99% sure you meant no harm, and weren't asking for access info, but the conversation was headed there.

I was not trying to start up any negativity on the subject. Rick, sorry about your friend. All I was trying to say is that this kind of info is all over the place on the web and in photos on the internet.
