Perhaps a bad distributor control module and test your alternator?

I would've said a bad alternator or battery but that buzzing makes me think a short somewhere. Then again alternator problems can manifest themselves in weird ways. Voltage gets low and electronics can do strange things. +1 on getting alternator checked.

I'd also pull the fuse for the radio and see if that does anything with battery drain.

So with the buzzing, is it with the radio still on after you shut off the car? Or with everything off? Does it do it only on AM/FM or CD/cassette/aux/etc? If it's AM/FM, I wonder if the antenna wire is picking up interference from whatever could be shorting.

-- edit--
Reading the post again I'm really thinking its a short. If everything's cold and you charge it, are there any areas getting warm?

I see what you're saying. With what the OP's saying though, the speakers themselves are making the buzzing sound, which with fast battery drain and no spark is what makes me think high power/short.

OP- please let is know what you find
