While browsing through the FSM, I think I've figured out the noise...and it's actually normal.

It's the ABS motor doing an operation check:

My old car used to have ABS take over a lot (in snow) and I'm just now realizing that's exactly the sound that I hear.

Maybe more experienced people can chime in on this thought?

6th gen reference where someone alluded to the ABS test since OP was hearing buzzing sound:
