Default weird noise from drivers side door

when unlocking the doors with the fob, or unlocking using the switch in the door you can hear a noise, but it doesn't do it when locking, i was wondering if anybody has had this happen and what the fix was or if theres some sort of an adjustment for the motor/actuator that unlocks the driver side door, it almost sounds like its trying to push the lock further and causes the motor/actuator to make a buzzing noise, thats assuming thats the problem the motor/actuator, but i'm not sure what else it could be really, since theres not much to the power lock system in the door.

turbo replace the door latch inside the door. My right rear door started to make a buzzing sound when unlocking now the door will not unlock at all and if you can't open it you will not be able to replace the latch. The latch has some plastic parts and I think one in mine has broken. So I suggest getting a new one soon. The motor/actuator is in the latch.

Good luck with this.
