If it loud humming noise when you turn it on - touch the side of the TV. If it's vibrating enough for you to feel it - you have problem with color wheel. It could be separate replaceable part or it could be integrated part of optical engine.
If you hear buzzing sound that goes off and then back on couple of times - could be bad lamp (even new one), bad connection between lamp and ballast (lamp power supply), or bad ballast.
If you have to replace optical engine and you out of the warranty - don't bother with repair. It would be not less than $600-$800. Invest in new TV.
