Reverse buzzing noise??

When i put the truck in reverse and start backing up, i get a buzzing noise from what sounds like under the truck when i start giving it gas to move. Notice it both when unloaded and loaded, but seems to be more noticable when i have a trailer on or backing up a hill. What could this be? It is kind of intermittent too, not always consistant but happens more often than not

Could it be your back up sensor?

if your talking the sensors on the bumper i don't have that feature on my truck. Almost sounds like a pump buzzing noise ?? Not sure what it could be. I don't notice it at all in drive even with a load. Just reverse.

Check the fluid in the power steering pump.
