It's the high pressure fuel pump. The sound is normal. Search for "crickets" and you'll find dozens of threads, including the 200 page mother of all cricket threads.
There is no 100% reliable fix. Some have had good luck changing fuel, using Lucas upper cylinder lube or adding TCw3 oil to their gas, but none of those is foolproof. There is a TSB to replace the pump, but it's a waste of time because the crickets come back with the new pump.
