The only noise the relays should make is a nice reassuring little
click.  When you turn the key on (but don't crank) the fuel relay
should click on for a couple seconds once or sometimes twice.  Any
chattering or arcing noises indicates bad ECU relay, maybe bad fuel
relay, maybe bad ignition switch.  If the fuel relay is buzzing it's
probably the ECU relay.  If the ECU relay is buzzing it's probably
the ignition switch.
