At the time of this writing, as the Russian invasion of Ukraine is on-going, rampant jamming of the buzzer is occurring. The buzzer can be listened to hear:

You can listen to it in real time using WebSDR. It's on 4625 kHz so just go to a European WebSDR instance[0] and enter 4625, use mode USB (upper sideband)

The jamming of UVB-76 is primarily done by pirates and is not new since the Ukrainian conflict. It’s been going on for many years.
