I am not that familiar with the PB3400. I would suspect after a fall that some card and/or connector came loose. With the PB5300 it was normally the Ram card that came loose, however from a fall just about anything could have came loose. I would disconnect any connectors you can easily get to and firmly reattach them. I would also unseat and reseat any cards that you can get to. If the 3400 is internally laid out like the 5300, then it would be very easy to unseat the power module when installing a new hard drive.
If the buzzing were mechanical I would suspect something amiss with the hard drive. If the buzzing was generated through the speakers, I would suspect the sound card, which on many PowerBooks is also the power card. Depending on how the book fell, the battery jamming into the compartment may have bent the battery connector pins so that they are not making good contact with the battery. Opening PowerBooks will often upset their restarting and a reset is needed. I am not sure what the button/key sequence for the 3400 is. For many older PowerBooks it was necessary to preform the reset many many times.
