Unplug the machine, turn the plug over and plug it back in. That should stop the buzz.
All electrical systems are polorized even if the plug is not. Sometimes, under certain conditions the polorization is wrong and you get a buzz. Reversing the plug in the outlet matches the polorization and stops the buzz.
