@bubbametz with your lights on and trying to start your Honda, do the lights dim? the hum/buz could be your fuel pump and for now I would ignore it. Is it a Automatic or standard?

This sounds like one of:

1) dirty (corroded) battery terminals … clean them

2) dead battery … charge it

3) failed battery or charging system … replace battery … repair charging system

However, if you have or can borrow some jumper cables… will it start with those connected to a good battery?
