Did you ever figure this out @flushigitty? I have the same problem and would love a quieter dryer.
Not sure exactly what part is causing the noise. But...I took off the steel plate at the bottom rear of the dryer. I found (with the dryer running) that the buzzing sound coinsides with the lighting of the glow plug (this ingnites the gas). This happens several times during a cycle because the dryer is programmed to turn the gas off and back on to maintain a constant heat during the cycle while still saving gas. I suspect its the electronic component responsible for turning on the glow plug thats doing the buzzing. will continue to search the web for more answers. cheers

I know this is old, but I just got this problem fixed and would like to help other people with this issue. It's the heating coil. It's faulty, and mine came that way, and i lived with it for years. When the coil clicks on, it rattles and buzzes super loud. Samsung charges 200$+ for the replacement heating element. However, my repair guy found that the part that came with the dryer was actually made by Maytag!! They swapped out the Maytag coils with a working part and the buzzing has stopped. Hope this helps.
