Need a little help.

This morning I went to get gas and my car was normal, how it has been since I got it, but when I was leaving the gas station and accelerating on the highway I started to hear a slight buzzing noise so I stuck in the clutch and all of a sudden all of my dummy lights came on including the shift up light. I thought my car had died but i looked at the RPM and it was at idle so i kept driving and it runs the same, just has all the dummy lights blairing at me. Shutting the car off didnt fix it.

Just throwing this out there to see if anyone knows abou tit or has had the same problem.

Thanks

Classic symptom of a bad alternator or snapped alternator belt.
