No replies so I thought I would ask if you discovered any more about this? Ford tend to put a fuel cut-off switch in the footwell area to cut the fuel supply to the engine compartment if there is an impact detected. Maybe this unit is making the noise when the ignition (and fuel pump) come on?

That is bizarre! Haven't got a noise like that although I have full leather seats and they tend to 'creak' when I am driving, if that makes sense? The only way I can describe it is a sort of farting noise which causes great hilarity when the whole family are aboard. Our 13 year old son always gets the blame for any mysterious sounds.
