I've had this with a failed servo. Undo the brake pipes one by one from the servo and push the brake pedal each time. When my servo failed there was no fluid being pumped to the rear brakes. Two pipes serve the front, one for the rear brakes.
But as said, could also be ABS related.

he handbrake light coming on means it's a pressure fault
or the fluids too old and dirty
or it's got too hot
if it's buzzing all the time then it might be that the relay/fuse has melted causing the problem so take a peek under the passenger side footwell to see if there is a green/purple relay that's constantly buzzing away
pull one of them out one by one (there are 3 in total) until the uzzing stops
you will have no brakes mind so don't use the car, but if a replacement relay solves the problem then sorted
if you need a pressure switch, just bear in mind that they are old and are a right bugger to get out and i've had a few that have stripped the threads fron inside the abs pump housing while trying to get them out, rendering the thing as scrap
