Buzzing Before Ignition

Dryer makes a buzzing sound before burner ignition. Buzzing starts with cycle start and every time the burner ignites. Buzzing duration has been increasing and ceases when the burner lights. Buzzing begins, apparently when thermocouple calls for heat, igniter glows to bright red and ceases when burner lights. Buzzing sounds similar to a relay attempting to work. Latest duration was 16 seconds.
