What's that buzzing noise I'm hearing on 9680 kHz? It's happening right
now, 4:45 p.m on the east coast of the US, or 2145 UTC. I'm in northern
Virginia, listening to a DX-398 using the whip. A search of RRS shows
that to be a Radio Australia frequency, but I don't know about this
time of day, local sunset.

Thanks. I think I'll head over to the 60 meter band.

Assuming you do mean 9580 and not 9680, it's probably Africa No. 1
from Gabon. They've been reported lately as having some sort of
transmitter problem that's giving them that noisy buzzy
signal...whether they're even aware of it (since it's been going on
all day for days on end) is another question.
