Weird sound at Suburban oven gas valve

Question

I just purchased a new Coachmen RV and have an oven for the first time. When the propane is turned on but all gas valves are in the off position there is a buzzing noise that comes from the connections behind the oven valve. I thought maybe a small leak, but I sprayed leak detector all over the connections and get no bubbles.

Any ideas? Is this normal? I have a video, but can only figure out how to post pictures to this topic. The noise isn't loud, but noticeable when you are near the oven.

Thanks for any insight.

Could it be the igniter? Tho that is usually a clicking noise.

As soon as I shut off the propane tanks and burn off the residual gas in the lines, the buzzing stops.

Any propane smell at all? Bubble test the stove top burners to make sure the dials are working, closing off. Also does the sound continue when your oven pilot light is on and lit?

BTW, the circuit board on my water heater makes a buzzing sound that nobody but me seems to be able to hear. Its close enough to my stove but when checking outside it is definitely the heater.

I turned on the top burner spark and my alarm started going off so I went to go shut off my propane tanks left the door open while I was resetting my detector for like 15-30 seconds and beeping of alarm went away. But now my stove is making these weird noises what should I do next ? Any advice&nbsp;
