The sound occurs immediately following the end of the ignition flame (orange glow) sequence. It then continues for the majority of the cycle. The dryer works fine and all of the clothes dry as if it were normal operational conditions, but the noise is quite annoying. Any solutions? I was thinking about changing the gas valves, but wanted to see if that was the right direction to go.

It was making a low hum at first then it blew through smmooth, no noise. Put the cap back on and no more high whistle. Try that simple way first before you pull the whole gas assembly out.

Pulled the burner tube and cleaned real good, paper clipped the orifice hole and all is quiet now.
