Android Central Question

Lately my Galaxy S20+5G started making a strange sound, out of the blue. It sounds like a motor or overworked fan with a regular pattern.
I have to turn off the phone and then restart.
This phone is new. Bought a few months ago.
 
Welcome to Android Central! Does it sound like its actually coming from the speaker, or is it elsewhere on the phone? If the latter, it might be a faulty vibratory motor.
