Frankly, I find it difficult to believe that the power transformer started buzzing because of a low voltage situation. A properly designed transformer shouldn't care one bit what the input voltage is.
Perhaps a more likely explanation was that the heater was causing distortion of the AC waveform, which certainly
could cause a transformer to buzz. Alternately, the DC regulation stages (if any), could have dropped out of regulation from a voltage sag, causing the buzz.
Whatever the cause, your issue is solved.
