No it doesn't buzz it just emits a beep or series of beeps to let you know what is wrong when you boot up. If it doesn't make any sound it is likely that it is installed the wrong way round.

Just make sure before you waste your hard earned money that the memory is compatible with your motherboard. Check on the QVLs before buying.

On some boards you can decide where to place the card but of course if you choose one of the slower slots then your graphics will take a performance hit. On other boards they just don't work unless the GPU is in the x16 slot.

Gigabyte's QVL for your motherboard is here:  http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-h55m-d2h.pdf

Other memory manufacturers will have their own on their websites.

Yes if you install new hardware of any significance you have to do a fresh install of Windows or you will have a lot of problems. Not only that but it gets rid of all the old junk files etc.
I don't understand why you want to install the graphics card in the x4 slot though.
