A multi-meter can be set in series between the negative battery cable and negative batter terminal to see the amount of current being drawn. On yours, I would expect to see less than
20mA, probably closer to 0. As far as the noise, hard to tell from here, is there oil in the engine?
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll get that checked. I don't see anything staying on or plugged in but I'll have it checked. As for oil, yes it was just recently changed (April or May) and the dipstick reads full.
