The buzzing noise is most likely the headlight motor relay. If the
doors are sticking, the motor is probably still activated & being
overworked. Check to see if anything is making the doors bind or
perhaps the motor itself is getting tired. Till you solve the
problem, it might be a good idea to open them & disconnect the motor
before doing potential damage.
