I'd start with checking the brake fluid level in the abs unit.

If that is fine then I would get the codes.

You probably have an over-run DTC due to a low fluid level as a result of a leaking ABS accumulator o-ring.

Mine does the same thing. I have a 94 accord ex and it will make the buzzing sound, then after about 10-15 seconds it quits, the light comes on and the noise stops.
