It came from a time when people buzzed in their sleep.

Hi there. It is indeed onomatopoeia (which is a word that resembles the sound made, such as hiss and groan) but not for snoring - many people sleeping do indeed make a "zzzzzzzzzzzz" sound on the out breath, it is as simple as that really.
Cheers, Steve.

They're the sound of silence....... When no sound is produced around you, ur ears produce a faint buzzing in the backround (probably the onset of tinitus in all of us or soming!)

It's meant to indicate the sound we make when we snore. Wouldn't snnrfflghruphgackburpcough be better?
