Could also be the starter pinion stuck in mesh with the ring gear. The time that happened to me, it made a similar noise. Was very noticeable inside the cabin, but my starter noise was less buzzy and more hissy than your noise. I'd think you would be able to rule this out just by putting your finger on the starter housing and feeling for vibration or prying back the black plastic clutch cover to see what's going on (look for flying sparks).
Cure to this in the short term is to start the car and tap the starter lightly with a hammer and punch until the thing disengages. Then don't use the starter (bump start the car instead) until you can install a new one.
