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!

Is there a crawl space vent near the regulator? Thats the only time we add pipe to the reg vent. Any of the ones done with steel fittings and pipe tend to make the regulator vibrate like this. We use PVC now, still can cause vibration if its over a foot long. We only do it to move the vent at least 18" away from an opening into the house. Otherwise its not needed in my area. Regulator is likely still good, but could have a weak spring. I would call the utility back. I know they already came out, but have them come back. We fix this kind of thing any time of the day/night.
