Is this a classic bad battery issue? - VIDEO
#3
It's either a bad battery, or one with a very low state of charge. The buzzing/clicking sound is the starter relay. Due to the lack of juice in the battery, the relay is engaging and disengaging rapidly. In other words, there's not enough electrical power to keep the relay open and send power to the starter.

If I have reason to suspect that the battery is just low (i.e. left the ignition on), I'll usually stick it on a charger and see if it comes back to life. If there's no good reason for the battery to have a low charge, I figure it's reached the end of its life and replace it.
