I wouldn't worry about a buzzer. It only helps you determine that there is
a fairly good electrical connection between two points. Your ohmmeter
reading will give you a much more accurate measurement of that sort of
thing. The only advantage of the buzzer is not having to look away from the
circuit you are probing to get a reading from the meter.This can be handy
sometimes, but it isn't really a very accurate test of anything.
