I have a Panasonic DECT 6.0-Series 3-Handset Cordless Phone System with Answering System (Model KX-TG1033S) which includes 1 base unit, 3 handsets and 2 chargers. All of the handsets have NEW Panasonic NiMH 700mah AAA Rechargeable Batteries.
When the phone rings, a buzzing sound emanates from the handsets. (The caller does not hear the buzzing sound).
How can I eliminate the buzzing sounds?
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.
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.
another thing to try is a different power supply "transformer" or "brick
Gary, did the buzzing problem start only after installing the new batteries?
Stormin' Mormon:
No. I put in new batteries (in all 3 handsets) in early Sept, 2015.
The buzzing sound started sometime in early December, 2016.
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.
More exact information:
The buzzing sound occurs when an incoming call goes to the answering system.
The buzzing sound is also heard when I listen to recorded messages.
Just my opinion but maybe you have a fly stuck in your ear and it's trying to get out?
I've unplugged the DSL line-filter from the telephone jack but the buzzing noise still occurs when phone messages are left on or retrieved from the answering system.

I just bought this cordless phone and I am having problems with a weird noise. Im wondering what is the problem?
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.
2,4, 5.8 or DECT6?
