That is your charcoal canister (or evap canister).
Look at this post here:
Where is charcoal canister location on 1998 4runner?
I got the noise to stop when I replaced all the hoses coming out of it. I can't tell you which hose was the culprit, I just went to Carquest and bought a whole bunch of that hose, cut it all to the right lengths and replaced away. Noise gone. Yay.
Somewhere on these forums is a thread about removing/bypassing these things but I'm too tired to look tonight.
Oh, and for what it's worth, don't let that noise deter you from a purchasing decision, cause I lived with that noise for literally 2 years before finally doing something about it.
