When right side control satellite speaker is connected to sub, a gradually increasing in loudness buzz starts
As mentioned above, a blown 2200 uF capacitor will cause that buzz. This is from my Altec VS4621. The buzz would be in the sub, then shift to the speakers if connected. I didn't examine the buzz all that long because it's loud af, but you can see the right capacitor is blown and open. IMO it's worth repairing, the caps are about 2 dollars per batch (20), plus time. You can watch plenty of videos on it, or bring some dollars to most repair shops.
Most of the time this is caused by a bad ground. Check all cabling from and to the right side satellite and the sub woofer.

The 2200 uF capacitor in the power supply has gone bad and the humming is a 60 Hz from the rectification of AC to 18 vDC. Either get a new power supply or take apart the power supply and replace the bad cap.

Sounds like a problem in the speakers' internal power supply, maybe a faulty capacitor. Speakers need to be looked at by a technician, or replaced with a new set.

If there is a router or you leave your phone near the speakers that is what is most likely causing the problem. Check to see if anything that gives off a wireless signal (eg. microwaves, cell phones, cordless phones) are nearby, and try to see if moving one of those things fixes your problem.

Thanks Harrie. Sorry for my delayed reply. I'm still experiencing the buzzing issue, so my recent Google search brought me to your answer. I didn't notice until I looked & saw the question ws asked by me in May of last year. All cabling for all three speakers (Sub, R Satellite & L Satellite) appear fine upon visual inspection. Is there something else about the cabling I should look for?
If it is only the right speaker, and no otters are doping this, Im affraid your amplifier is defect. You says it even buzzes whn the amp is switched of. Please remove the powercord en check if it still buzzes. I think it will stop imeadiately, because the hun is coming from your main voltage. In the amp a capicator is defect, making it possible to leak the 50 or 60 Hz throug to the speaker. So you should check or let check the right amplifier. Nottingham to do with the cable. If you put the legt speaker in the right amp, the buzz should come out of the legt speaker to point to the amplifier for 100%.
Thanks for the video. If only everyone could breng their problem here like this.
