Cooking on my blackstone and the tank is making a high pitch buzzing sound and kinda seems like the regulator is vibrating a little. Any clue? Am I gonna blow up lol? I should say the regular sounds like a vibrating type sound it is not visible vibrating

Could be a leak. Cease and desist. Turn off, tighten and check everything. Also video please.

Spray all the connections with a spray bottle filled with water and dish soap. If you see bubbles, you have found your leak. If it is at a screw in connection, you could try wrapping the threads with some teflon tape to mitigate the leak.

Turn off the tank, unhook the regulator and then put it back on and try again.

I made it lol. Cooked dinner with no issues the sound got less even though it didn’t stop completely After reading some reviews I think it’s the diaphragm in the regulator. Everything I’ve read says it’s more of an inconvenience than a problem.

Was the tank in the sun by chance? Could be the pressure relief valve doing its thing.
