That is the heating element. The coils tend to get hot and sag, loosening on the ceramic insulators that they are secured with. This is not harmful but is a bit bothersome to listen to. You could replace the element or try to tighten each coil up, but that rarely helps for too long. If it is too bothersome, the element for your machine is available at the link below. The element is accessed for inspection/replacement by removing the rear access panel from the back of the machine. Whirlpool 279838 Whirlpool Dryer Heating Element - AppliancePartsPros.com
