How can I turn off the servo when the printer is idle or printing?

The servo keeps making a humming sound (there is no binding), I want the power to be cut to the servo when it is not in use. I only use the servo for auto bed leveling and it stays up on its own after it has been retracted.

Is there some way to configure the firmware to do this? I'm using Marlin 1.0.2.

Edit:

#define PROBE_SERVO_DEACTIVATION_DELAY 300

This probably should get me started?
