My S5 won't turn on. When I press the power button, there is an electrical buzzing noise.

I was using my phone normally, when it shut down.
I've tried taking out the battery and putting it back in, a recovery mode reboot, and both again after removing my SD card/SIM card.
When I press the power button (and only the power button), there is an electrical buzzing noise near the camera. When I shake the phone, there is a rattling noise near the camera as well.
Is my phone broken, because I really don't want to to deal with replacing it, if I can avoid it.

It sure sounds as if something physically broke. Only disassembling the phone (which I don't recommend doing yourself - for starters it voids the warranty) will tell for sure.

(Some carriers will replace the phone while you wait, others require you to wait for one to be sent to you.)
