Hi Buddy,

Symptoms indicates a bad ABS accumulator which is leaking internally. The buzzing is the motor working to pump up the pressure but when pressure does not build up after a certain time lapse, the ABS control unit cuts of the ABS system

You would need to replace the accumulator and bleed the brake system
