Nothing. It's the vacuum pump for the central locking system. It's
located next to the battery, under the rear seat. Maybe you pushed
some of the noise insulation off the pump when working with the
battery, and then started hearing the buzzing?

Anyway, it's perfectly normal, but it should not run for 20 seconds if
everything's tight. Don't bother if the locking system works, but if
it really runs for 20 seconds, I suspect that one of the lines are
leaking..
