"Buzzing" near throttle body?

Maybe this normal? When I have the key in the run position (engine off) I can here a buzzing near the throttle body. I felt my way around the engine and I can feel the vibration in the air pipe and when I touch the throttle body,
It actually starts quietly but gets louder over the course of a minute or so.

Very curious...

I'd be curious also, as you are about to need a new throttle body----that noise is the very complicated electronic circuitry associated with the TB taking a dump!

One demented member may suggest hitting the TB with a hammer---don't do that!

What? Nobody is disregarding anything, sounds like I got my question answered.
