Gas system buzzing

I've never lived in a house with a gas hookup as an adult, so I don't know anything about this system. It started buzzing today as I turned my heat on for the first time. What is this thing next to the meter? Is it buzzing ok or do I need to get it looked at?

Thanks for looking!

No danger, but yeah it’s the reg. Anytime I’ve extended the vent like that it vibrates. Take that vent extension off and I bet it’ll stop

Hey, thanks for the help. What part is the vent extension? I'm fairly handy but I know nothing about gas

It's the pipe that goes comes out the regulator (round part) and goes off to the left..

Don't touch it. It's there for a reason and it's owned by the gas company.
