The buzz does not happen when browsing "my books" or when other screen refreshes occur. It only happens when turning book pages in portrait mode and when waking the device from sleep and the cover is replaced by text.
I put it right next to my ear in a very quiet room and in those conditions, I can hear a very faint electronic noise when turning the page. I was curious and tried with my other ereaders - my Paperwhite 3 and my Glo HD do that as well. I have to assume it's normal behavior.
