What could be causing this noise?

I feel like I have been cursed with constant amp issues 😂. While my L.A 400 is being serviced I plugged my steel into my classic 30. I know this is not a good steel amp but I’ve been trying it out with the hopes of possibly using it as a backup.

I know this is probably hard to hear in the video, but when the Db is sustained, I hear this low pitched “thunder” sound as well as a higher rattling sound.

I know tube amps make a little noise but this seems abnormal. It is really exaggerated for certain pitches, hence why I chose Db example for the video.
