If you were trying this unit in so many outlets, you must have been using an
extension cord. That is a bad idea for a window a/c of that size. Unless
you have one of those SERIOUS guage extension cords ($$), then that may be
the cause of your buzzing. You are on the verge of an electical overload or
a fire.
Beyond that, what they others have said is right. You need to get an
electrician to install an isolated circuit for this a/c.
