That is the shiftlock solenoid. It is the device that will not allow you to move gear leaver out of Park unless brake pedal is depressed first. Unfortunately there can be noise from that but it is not a problem. There is a range of noise level due to manufacturing tolerances and on some cars it is louder and on others it is almost silent.
