It is almost like a loud vibrating sound. It does not make the sound when the "sensing" light is not lit. It has annoyed me long enough so I would like to get it fixed. Is it the sensors or is there something else related to the sensors that is causing this annoying noise? Thanks in advance - Jeff

I climbed on top the dryer when it was making the noise. I banged on the back just to see what would happen and the noise became quieter. A couple more bangs and it is not noticeable now. I will take the back off and see if I see anything. I always thought that it was something to do with the sensor since it only made the noise when that light was on... If I knew a few taps on the back would have fixed this problem, I would have beat the hell out of it years ago... - Jeff
