    The buzzing may be Toshiba's motion sensor that locks down the drive when it senses motion. It shouldn't buzz too loud, though.

    The buzz is the likely the locking of the HD head. But my screen does not flicker when it does it. May want to callt oshiba or swap it out from where you bought it.

    i have the exact same laptop, all you have to do is disable the hard drive protection, is on the task bar, click on it and then select off, when you do that it should stop doing that.
