Unless you trapped a bumble bee in the switch, it shouldn't be making any sound. Sounds like a loose connection somewhere in the box where switch is located. Is there any flickering in light? That would be a clear indicator. There also could be a faulty switch where the internal contactors are chattering because of corrosion or misalignment of contacts. To check this out turn off the power at breaker and pull switch and wiring out of box and then turn on the power and see if it is anything obvious (The bumble bee flies out). If it is still buzzing and you can't see why then turn off power again and remove one lead from switch. Put a wire nut or tape on bare wire so you don't get shocked. Turn off power and see if buzzing still there. Repeat for all other wires until buzzing stops. If all wires are off switch and buzzing still happens, do the same on the other 3-way switch in the circuit.
