If the buzzer is a door bell then the dog is only reacting instinctively. He/she is warning you that something is approaching the den. All it needs is training to be quiet on command. Every time the dog barks tell it firmly, 'quiet' and as soon as he stops barking (even if only to take a breath) praise him or give him a treat! A friend operating the buzzer will make the training quicker, as repetition is needed for the dog to learn! You can reinforce the training by using the command at other times the dog barks and only use the treats till you are sure the dog has learnt the command. Don't shout at the dog or punish it! but at the same time be consistent! If barking is wrong in a situation it should always be wrong in That situation!

Dogs bark when they hear doorbells or buzzers to warn you of potential danger on the other side of the door - The dog is just doing it's job!
If you're really adverse to it, train the dog by telling him NO when the buzzer goes off (Enroll the help of a friend ringing the buzzer, with you telling the dog NO on the other side).

Buy a whistle and when the dog starts to bark, blow a quick short blast on the whistle, this will shock the dog and stop it barking, every time the dog barks at the buzzer blow the whistle, eventually it will learn that when it barks it will associate the barking or the buzzer and learn not to bark. Shrill noises are uncomfortable to a dogs sensitive hearing and will not like the whistle.

As other people have said the dog is alerting you to the buzzer so if you train it not to bark you should not punish the dog if it fails to bark when you would like it to in the future.
However noisy dogs are a nuisance both for you and the neighbours. To discourage the dog I recommend you keep a plant sprayer with water in it to hand and every time time the dog barks say NO in a loud firm voice and simultaneously spray the dogs face with the water.He will soon learn.

My dog used to do the same thing. Maybe its the pitch or tone of the buzzer that drives him crazy. Perhaps you could install a chime door bell or another type of buzzer system, thats what worked for me.

In any given situation, focus on what you do want your dog to do instead of on whatever he’s doing wrong. Learn how to train your dog https://tr.im/7q5sH
For example, suppose that on many evenings, your young dog gets busy looking for trouble just as you’re digesting your dinner. He grabs a boot from the mat by the front door and gallops through the house with it. You yell at him and take it away. He grabs its mate. You yell and take it away. He heads for the kitchen and starts checking out the counters in case something tasty’s been left behind. You chase him away. And on and on, until you’ve lost your temper and torn out clumps of hair you can ill afford to lose.

Well, he/she is only doing there job. :) When your dog barks, shake a jar with a penny inside it. It will distract the dog's attention. Once she/he stops, remind them that they are a good dog.
