Even without knowing the specifics on your engine, I'd suspect a load test on your battery would prove worthwhile. In my experience, with everything else working, and nothing has been changed, it's the battery. Yours are classic symptoms of a battery. It doesn't take a whole lot of amperage to run buzzers and lights, but it uses a ton of em to turn a starter. If infact, nothing has been done recently to the engine and/or wiring, most autoparts stores will test a battery for you for free. As a side note, loose or corroded battery connections will give the same symptoms. Inspect wires and connections, and then pull your battery and get it tested. Just my 2 cents.....

Is it a manual transmission? Could be the safety switch on the clutch.

I agree, check the battery, get a jump see if it starts then.
