Is it making the buzzing sound across the rev range or just before the motor starts to turn?
If it's before it starts then that could be the speed control circuit pulse that you're hearing.

Normally motors buzz when they can't turn feely. Make sure nothing is jamming, like the tracks, sprocket or gears, best to see if the tracks can be moved by hand with the power off.
