Anyone know what I should do to resolve this issue? About 6 months in to this hobby so sorry if this is a noob question. By the way, there are no leaks.

 
I really cannot hear anything. Looking at you flow from the return, either the pump need to be cleaned, or a new return pump with more GPH

Thanks jsker, yeah the sound is hard to catch in the video but if you hold your phone to your ear, you can hear the buzzing. So far it's a little better. I lowered the water level and it seems to have helped.
 
6 months. Your impeller probably needs to be cleaned. Build up can cause vibrations when it rotates against its bushing.
