Loud Buzzing Noise

Hello everyone,

I recently got my prusa 3d printer and I love it. I've been printing a lot of PLA and now I've finally got my PETG in to start building my ikea enclosure, https://blog.prusaprinters.org/cheap-simple-3d-printer-enclosure/ , like everyone else. Printing the bottom parts of the enclosure was perfect, but printing the top was kind of weird. everything was good until it started filling in the top layer. When it starts filling in the top layer a loud buzzing sound is being emitted from the extruder. I discussed with support and they said for longer distances this is expected. This sound only happens when filling the top, infill, bordering and everything else is perfect. Is this sound normal? has anyone else experienced this before? Here's a link to the sound, https://photos.app.goo.gl/2ey8g81jRRA91UDN8. The sound doesn't bother me, but I just want to make sure that the printer is ok. I've also googled this and there was a post about this, but no real solution offered.

Hopefully I used all the right terminology as well because I'm very new to 3d printing and still trying to understand what's going on.
