I believe that would be your coolant sensor.Must have gone bad and some one rigged it so they wouldn't hear that buzz.
Or it has a leak in the cooling system,which I would further investigate before your engine goes boom.

They don't commonly go bad, but sometimes when the coolant level is a little low, the coolant low light will come on when you turn corners or drive slow. You have to open the air bleed screw to let air out while you add coolant. Some people ground the wire harness connector and leave the sensor unplugged so that the buzzer doesn't annoy them.

The sensors do go bad quite frequently, actually. Always be wary buying a car that has this sensor grounded.
