The alternator is bad. The choke light doubles as an alternator light. The alternator closes a relay that allows the battery to power the choke. Battery voltage and alternator voltage are also pitted against each other on the choke light. When the alternator is bad the battery voltage is allowed to flow through the choke light and walla, light is lit.

Did you check your fuses? The same thing happened to me last summer - I had an intermittent short that would blow a fuse which would trip the choke light/buzzing until I replaced the fuse. Eventually i found the short and permafixed it.
