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.

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?

With mine, the cd player would make the loading sound, even with the engine off, & you just get in it; they are cheap junk, & it kept draining my battery, so i got a new battery,
& THAT was bad, the (barely) cold weather caused the battery case to crack, & the whole battery was coated with acid,
so they gave me a new battery, & i pulled my radio fuse.
I want to remove just my cd player, but apparently it's all one unit
