I walked into my garage and I heard a fan noise coming from my 2013 Rav. The car had been parked over night for at least 8 hours. I started the car for a few minutes and turned it off the noise stopped

Was it plugged into the EVSE or had it been charging overnight?
 
The car goes through a series of post charge events that are part of the cell balancing operation (there are THOUSANDS of Panasonic 18650 cells in the battery).

You walked in during a time that it was likely charging. Any time the car is charging, the cooling system is operating to keep the cells cool.
