Hi There,
It is probably an EL backlit panel which is in essence a ga discharge tube. That one needs a high voltage converter. The buzzing you here is audible noise coming from the transformer. Usually it is more prominent on lower duty cycles, when you decrease the BL brightness. The converter is usually a separate (narrow) PCB. They are massively available. Sometimes there a multiple converters in a panel, they may also be combined on one PCB.
