Sounds like your ABS Motor is running. Could kill battery and should not run unless key is on. But find out where that noise is coming from. I would check to see if there is a drain on the battery with the key off. You can get that checked at any Autozone for free.

You might want to check the Anti-skid relay (what Ford calls it) which is the front or furthest out from the firewall, directly under the vacuum tree with the electrical connection in the bottom. If bad it can run the ABS motor constantly or periodically from heating up. If the buzzing is the round ABS motor, which is on the engine side of the ABS/master cylinder tree on the inside bottom area about directly below the relay, that is probably the problem. I drove around the damn thing for way too long until I found this site and was duly informed as to the problem. About 30 bucks.
