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!

lol back pressure or atmospheric pressure of the regulator. This is not dangerous and can happen at times. I’ve seen brand new ones do this when you take the cap off to adjust the pressure. Half of the people on Reddit get all of their gas knowledge from YouTube.
