Check your oil level. You are probably low. When you went over the bump the oil level dropped too low so it buzzed.

I agree, sometimes when I would take turns at a "spirited" speed the oil or coolant level light would come on in my idiot cluster and buzz really loud. It's just the liquids splashing around and not touching the sensor, which could be explained by being low.

If your oil level turns out to be fine, check the wire to your oil level sensor on the side of your oil pan, if there is any bare wire showing it could have tapped on the frame which would make it buzz.
