Find the cause. Probably electrical interference, especially from a
computer. Is the base unit close to something that may cause it?

Just while the phone is ringing? And it stops when you answer?

Well of course not.

Maybe consider it an additional reminder that the phone is ringing?

I have similar stuff. Mine does not do this. It is something in your house.
Notably cheap LED lights or fixtures. Try turning off circuits to track down
the problem. If you have a fully charged battery in the base (at least in
mine) you can turn the whole house off and still use the system. Then call
in from a cell or neighbor to see if it's there. Get back to us.

If I get my flip open dumb phone near my desktop I get noise through
the computer speaker, almost like Morse Code --- annoying sounds.

Do you have a wireless router? You might try turning that off to see if it's interference from it. What's the frequency of your phone system? Sometimes WiFi routers interfere with cordless phones. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Panasonic DECT is generally 5.8ghz and does not interfere with or get
interference from wifi or bluetooth. I gave 3 Panasonic DECT phones
and have never had any problem with noise (except for BAD line noise).
A previous set I had got noisy so I threw it away and got the DECT
set. On mine it appeared to be a base station problem as it affected
all phones connected to it.

First thing I would do is connect as standard wired phone to the
system and see if it is noisy too - we did have a cabling problem with
Bell so I switched to OOMA and now I don't have the line noise issue.

Gary, did the buzzing problem start only after installing the new
batteries?

But if I understand it correctly, this buzzing is from the handset
only when it's ringing. Hard to see how that is from interference.
Sounds more like something wrong with the phone system. IDK where
they generate the ring sound, in the base and send it to the handset
or in the handsets? If it's the former, then could be something's
gone wrong in the base. First thing I'd do is completely remove
power from the base and all the handsets, let them fully reset.

Just my opinion but maybe you have a fly stuck in your ear and it's
trying to get out?

Bad phone line?  Check phone line at NID with a known good phone to see if the buzzing is coming from the line.

Disconnect the phone line and "answer" the phone. Do you still hear
it?

If so, plug it in as far from where it is now as possible. Even if
there is no phone line, you can stilll "answer" the phone. Does it
still hum. If so there was something near the first location.
If it hummed in the previous step and it no longer hums here, it's not
the phone.

Is it a 60 or 120 cycle per second hum? You can probably find those
frequencies on a piano and see how the hum compares. A-440 is iirc the
A below middle C in the center of the keyboard, which makes the A below
that 220 and the A below that 110. And below that 55. Are either 110
or 55 close in frequency.

The hum may be coming from a nearby fluorescent light or compact
fluorescent or an LED light bulb, Or even a motor or other electronic
device.

O3r it might be inherent in the new phone but that's unlikely.

A-440 is the A ABOVE middle C, so everything is one octave higher.

Makes more sense to see what they sound like online.

I have a Panasonic cordless sitting here on my desk. It causes hum in
my PC speakers if the base unit is too close to the PC speaker that
contains the amplifier. Also, if I turn the base unit 90 degrees, the
hum goes away. Is there anything electronic near the base? Try moving it.

I don't know if you are asking the OP or me, but my Panasonic is a
DECT6. It's a KX-TGE270; a really nice machine. I wish it had 2 line
capability. Actually, it does, in a way, but I would like 2 copper land
lines to work. The 2 line capability is that is bluetooth connects to a
cellphone. You can then make or answer calls on any handset using the
cell, even if another handset is busy on the land line.

I had the same problem. After reading these posts I have moved the base station away from the recently installed 'TrueCall' call filter (which is brilliant), the buzzing has gone! thank you all

I have a panasonic Link2Cell Cordless telephone with Digital answering machine. I called the phone company. They checked the lines. No problem.
I got a new filter the other year n it worked again. No buzzing. Now I have buzzing again this last month since June 9 2023. I wrote phone company but they give you a list one line. I could not find anything about this buzzing on there. I bough a new filter for the phone jack. Not working. Still buzzing then I ordered a phone jack adaptor and the new one does not even work and the phones were dead.
I put the old one back on. At least it works but the buzzing is loud. I got them in 4-13-2020. 3 years old. I hope they last longer than that.
