Like many other rattlesnakes, they frequently make a buzzing sound with the rattles on their tails when they feel threatened. They usually live in the southeastern United States and eat rabbits, rodents, and birds.

The adverb is modifying the word "make".

Adverbs are used to modify other adverbs, adjectives, or nouns. It also modifies it by telling when, where, how, under what conditions, why, and to what degree.
