Buzzing when idle and "high" power consumption

Hello everyone, in terms of the movement my printer seems to be fine so far. After starting it up it draws about 7W and it is totally quiet (homing etc all works fine). However, once I move the printhead, the idle power goes up to 25W and I notice a buzzing sound (but I can't tell where it exactly comes from) - I assume it is one of the steppers. Is this a common issue? What can I do about it? Thanks 🙂

It is buzzing because the steppers are now engaged and are holding their position. That is normal
