What year car? There are a few things that can buzz - but, if the key is off - I would check out the three relays nrxt to the cruise control. I believe that atleast one is for the radiator fan. I have a toyota that I know the fan can come on with the ignition off. If the coolant temp switch is bad, you could get a buzz or the fan exhibiting strange behavior.

When working on headlights, I found that mine (93) has a vacuum canister hidden in the fender just above and to the front of the driver side front wheel. I had no idea the thing was there - but there is a vacuum line going through the metal right next to the cruise control. In my case, the car was in a minor fender bender and the canister broke loose from the wheel well - no it vibrates and makes noise when the engine is idling.

In your case, maybe it is leaking.
