The flashing pilot might just be a loose bulb.

The buzz could be one of several things.
1) it could be a tube that is microphonic (slightly defective)
2) could be loose bits in the amp or case, try tightening up any case screws you can see.
3) could it be something in else the room that is buzzing, and not the amp?
4) Or worst case could be a real mystery, we had one of those that was never solved even after repeated trips to an authorized Fender Service Depot. It buzzed on some notes at high volume no matter what was tried. Solved by an amp-u-tation (sold the amp) and got a different one.

Oups, this is a new HRDlxIII amp?
I'd be hauling it back to the dealer and let them deal with the issue.
These amps do have a good warranty!

Bulb ; remove the "jewel " and unscrew / screw the bulb . In could be a bad contact.

Buzz ; mechanical = cabinet or from the sound ?

Mechanical ; push on the tubes , to be sure they are all in place. Tight all the cab screw , don't forget speaker screws , but not too tight
