Most likely a ballast but you never know.

You may wanna check the fusebox under the hood, when a ballast starts to go bad it can blow the fuse, but even if changing that fuse fixes the problem it wont be long before the ballast will fry out completely.

the low buzzing noise is normal when you put your ear close to it.
