Is the buzzzz coming from the engine bay? If so, can you pop the hood and hear it when idling?

The tapping sound could be an exhaust leak at the exhaust manifold. Have you checked for broken or missing manifold bolts?

If you could give more descriptors it would help.

The studs could be broken and the nuts corroded to the manifolds. If you can get on them with a wrench GENTLY try to turn the to see if any come off don't put much torque on them. And look for any black soot around the manifold seam.
