This is probably dumb but I am no good at electrical and it makes me nervous. Just to be sure I get this right…

Your recommendation is to tap one end of the jumper into the brown wire at the VR. Add a 10 ohm resistor on the jumper. And tap the other end of the jumper into a 12V hot source. The hot source is constant 12v or key on (acc) hot?

Hopefully that Q makes sense.

Thanks for all the help.

I would run a jumper from a 12 volt hot source in series with a 10 ohm resistance to the brown wire connection on the VR and see if the buzzing stops. I have an external wire like this on my truck and it works fine. Temporary for testing of course for an SI alternator.
