Strange buzzing noise from my extruder motor

I've had my Prusa mk3 for a few weeks now and up until yesterday I had been printing in PLA with no incident. Starting yesterday, I've been printing with PETG and all the sudden my extruder motor is making a concerning buzzing sound. It doesn't seem to impact print quality at the moment, but it seems like something that should be delt with soon before I find the motor dying or something. Does anyone know what might make the extruder motor buzz?

Re: Strange buzzing noise from my extruder motor

Are you sure it is the extruder motor, and not the part cooling fan?
The fan is known to make relatively loud sounds when it is operating at less than 100%, and that is the case when printing PETG.
