My guess is the fuel pump pressurizing the line.
I hear if you have a high-flow fuel pump that humming is like 5x as loud. I wouldn't know anything about that though, since my car is stock.

to prelube the engine in the spring from sitting you can unplug the cam sensors and crank it over till the oil light goes out
This will throw a check light that can be reset by disconnecting the battery
This is how we prelube every engine we build :thumup:
Onther thing is once it is put away dont start it every month , you are just adding to the wear and tear . just do this procedure when you take it out in the spring
To answer some questions , the humming noise is the Airpump pumping air through the head into the exhaust to warm up the cat faster
Teaspoon trick ?? Where are you going to put this teaspoon of oil to make a difference ?
