Sound production in bees is caused by the rapid beating of their wings. Other activities which are visual cues will cause bees to become aware of an intruder. Standing in the "flight-path" to and from the hive will disrupt the bee's normal activities of leaving and returning to the hive. Dark colors also seem to bother bees, and they are much more likely to investigate or become alarmed.
The increased buzzing heard from a disturbed hive is actually caused by the increased wing beat activity as the bees fan alarm phermone throughout the hive.
Did you know about the Other Bee Sounds?
"Queen piping" refers to an audible squeek emited by queen bees under special circumstances. The sound is made by vibrating the folded wings. It is believed that the vibrations of small plates at the base of the wings produces the sound since queens that have had their wings clipped can still pipe. The queen may also rest her body against a hard surface and use it as a sounding board. Queen piping is associated with swarming activity. One study discovered that in the 25 minutes before the colony swarmed, the queen piped 25 times. Piping seems to take place between the queen ready to leave with the swarm, and the developing queens still in capped cells. The queen's piping may serve as a warning for new queens to delay emergence until the swarming queen has left.

Koarake is not their game...the words are not available. Seriously...it's their wings that you hear. The bigger the wings the deeper the buzz. Check out the mosquito compared to the hummingbird.

I think it's because their wings are moving so quickly, that -that is why they "hum".

they don't
it's the humming from their beating wings you hear
(change in pressure in the area surrounding their wings causes wave fluctutaions to reach your ears, vibrating your ear drum)
