Whenever I hear Bzzzzz... I think of Danny McBride in Foot Fist Way and chuckle.. you know, that scene when he's holding the buzzer outside of the restaurant. He's buzzing random things including the guys balls adjacent from him. Bzzzzzz!

It's probably your ignition switch. Don't worry. Be Happy.
There have been very few cases where someone has actually had to replace it. If you can't live with the buzzing.. replace it.

I once had a neighbor who worked for a company named Megavolt that made transformers for electric utility companies that eventually went out of business. Once the employees found out a few weeks ahead of time that the place was closing down, she as the receptionist, started answering the phone "BZZZZT, MEGAVOLT", and sometimes added "BUY MEGAVOLT AND GET A CHARGE OUT OF LIFE!" No joke.

Sorry Mr. Bell but these are common sense questions that the user should read from the manual book instead of asking imbecilic questions. However, not everyone is car literate and this is a website to help the noobs..........SO........SIGH - here is his answer:
The orange triangle light is your VSA Indicator; it comes on as a reminder when you turn it off, flashes when it actives (i.e. while cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than desire), or if there is an issue with the VSA (it stays on). VSA stands for vehicle stability assist which in terms assists you to control your vehicle. Hopes this helps, thank you and good luck.

What does that light mean?

I've searched the forums already and searched multiple forums. Each thread, nobody had a conclusive answer.
I read in some posts people said crank it faster, I tried that tonight.
the BZZZZT sound stayed as long as i held the key and the motor wasn't starting or even trying to turn over.
I pulled the key back to II position then cranked it again.
I got the BZZZT again and after a second it started to crank.
Something is wrong, it's not like I'm making it up and the car is fine and bzzzt is not found in the owners manual. I even found postings where people said it was normal, well my car didn't do this until 3 days ago.

Ok my apologies but your thread is ambigous. Anyway, well maybe you should take it in to get inspected. Yes, normally when you are about to turn on the engine you will here a buzz noise but it goes away and so should the VSA light. If its not wanting to turn then check things like fuel filter, spark plugs, things of that nature. Sorry I am the type of guy that needs to be there in order to figure it out.

I don't think it's normal, my car didn't do this until 3 days ago. And trying to crank through it fast, got me nothing. car didn't even try to start.
I think I know by now the VSA light is likely not a related issue since that is part of normal start up.
If my thread was ambigious, normally people ask for more details and I can provide that.
The initial replies I got were
-TheChamp531 It is ready to turn into the Hulk!
-justnspace when you turn the ignition, it arms the bomb
-Majofo
and then a picture suggesting I was stupid.
The problem isn't the triangle light and yes I did read the manual and learned about that. Before I even asked if there was any correlation to the light the problem still is the BZZZZT sound when I crank the motor.

GUYS HE'S NOT CRAZY. This actually started to happen to my car as well about 4-5 days ago. It's happened twice so far and it's always when I'm starting it up in the morning. Same symptoms: buzzing sound with the VSA light coming on.
