Dotson...how does it sound again? I think I might know.

OK....it's not a Beeeeeee. It's more of a Baaaaaaaaaa low hum.
You have gas.
And it doesn't even try to turn over with pushing the gas pedal.
Is that correct?

The low hum you hear is probably the fuel pump. When the key is first turned to the accessory position the fuel pump relay is triggered for a few seconds to prime the fuel line.
I just took my 8 out of storage and was checking the air filter and disconnected the MAF sensor to open the airbox. I forgot to re-connect it. I didn't think anything of the CEL and battery light on due to the fact that I just re-connected the battery for the first time in 5 months. Started fine the first time but after it would only start by manually giving it gas from the pedal. I doubt that this is your problem but it's something possibly worth checking.

It's flooded, the more you try to start it, the more the battery will die out.. most likely you'll have to get it towed and have it fixed. Or you can try Deflooding it yourself with the DIY thread... but since your car is still under warranty, might as well let them handle it.
