Heat on - Buzzing - Humming Noise

Hi guys quick question E350 2009 60K out of warranty but i do have after market extended warranty 7 / 100K

When i turn on the heat i hear a humming / buzzing noise like the fan is on i never notice it before but it nay have been there not sure.

Should i be worried ? when i am driving i do not hear it or when the radio is on only time i hear it when the car comes to stop on a traffic light or when i am i am stopped/

again when i turn of the heater it goes away don't know if it is the fan or the blower or what ?

its not a big deal just curious if it something i need to look into or keep going

Thanks

A side bar, when was the last time you replaced or cleaned the cabin filters
Thanks for the reply it is always constant regardless if the level is on 1 or 7

Cabin filter don't know but it has regular service A and B done at a regular intervals

update: i only get the humming noise like the motor fan is on not to loud just a constant noise. when i turn the AC on it goes away so it only happens when i turn the heat on

currently in Chicago weather is very cold
