Buzz sound effects, some alive and some electric. Bees working a hive and cicadas droning in the heat. Then the wires. Old TVs and tape machines buzzing with mains hum, and electromagnetic fizz picked up from gadgets that were never meant to be heard. Air conditioning grinds away underneath.

A buzz gets under the skin because it never quite settles. An insect buzz moves, getting louder and softer as it flies round the room, while an electrical one sits still and grates. Horror uses both, a bee swarm for dread and an Electricity buzz for a flickering corridor. Designers grab Electromagnetic recordings for sci-fi interfaces and broken robots, because they sound mechanical and alive at once. A steady mains Hum under a scene makes a room feel lived in, or slightly wrong, depending on the level. Fans give offices and server rooms their quiet drone.
