I was typing rapidly in text edit. I then pressed the delete key to delete some text. I heard a very short buzz sound that sounded like an electric head shaver in my earbuds. Later on, the sound came on full force and I had to unplug the earbuds for it to stop. Another interesting bit is that the G3 does not bong or at least not usually. What do you suppose happened?

Sounds like a driver glitch. I occasionally get that with my USB speakers, which go into this odd really loud static/glitch audio. Has to do with the driver for the audio having a bug/bad code in it.
Are you using 10.5 on that machine? Not sure, but I think I heard somewhere than the B&W G3 and Yikes! G4 had issues with 10.5 in the audio department. Again, I only recall seeing it, not sure if I remembered it right...

It's not even possible to put 10.5 onto a B&W (with a G4 upgrade, minimum) or a Yikes! without some serious, serious hacking. So I doubt it's Leopard related.
Without knowing what OS the OP *does* have on the machine it's unlikely anyone's going to be able to offer much help.

Leopard would need Yikes and Gossamer Kexts copied in even to have a chance of booting. I have said Kexts, but they're extremely rare so I doubt he would be running 10.5 on it, and that doesn't even take into account the machine would need a G4 processor upgrade in it.
I have had the audio "buzzing" issue under just about every version of Mac OS X. It still happens (albeit very infrequently) on my Intel iMac. Irritating, and certainly a bug in the audio drivers, but not one that you should have to worry about. It doesn't signal impending hardware failure or anything of the sort.

It was 10.3 and has not happened since that.
