Default Servo hums good or bad?

i bought this servo http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Hitec-HS-...o-p-17941.html and when i plug in the lipos and it turns on it hums like theres some resistance on it i have it centered and i have my flux proped up on the tires it works and turn, is this normal for a high torque servo? should i worry about it? thanks for any help

I'm not exactly certain. I know I have high torque servos on my large scale airplane and they hum even without resistance. It seems that even when the slightest resistance is on them, they hum. Even if it's an oz.

well maybe its normal for the high torque servos to hum cause of all the torque.
