Hello,

Try a power drain:

1. Shut the system down.

2. Disconnect the power and any peripherals.

3. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds.

4. Connect everything back in.

5. Start the system.

After that, if the buzzing noise continues, open the left side cover and try to define where the sound is coming from, be careful not to touch anything inside the system while the computer is on. If when you remove the left side cover the sound stops, it could be just that the cover was not seated properly. If not, it could be any of the fans.
