Narrative:

Immediately after rotation a loud buzzing noise started from outside the cockpit on the nose of the aircraft and we received a stall fail caution message. The noise became louder as we increased airspeed and at around 200 KIAS it was almost deafening. We decided to not speed up any more and we leveled off and advised ATC. Then the captain transferred the flight controls to me while he complied with the QRH for the stall fail caution message. The buzzing continued and we were worried that something essential like the aoa vane was vibrating loose and could cause damage to the aircraft. That; combined with the reduced stall protection and the distraction from the noise led us to decide to return to field and not continue the flight. Since the situation was under control and we were in no immediate danger we did not request priority handling; however ATC gave us priority for us. We burned off fuel until we were below max landing weight; complied with all checklists; and returned to the departure airport without any further problems. After returning to the gate; I went outside to look at the front of the aircraft and found that the oxygen service panel was open. The open door of this panel was in line with the pitot tube and aoa vane which might have caused the stall fail message. At this point I remembered seeing this door open during my preflight; however at the time I paid no attention to it because I thought it was one off the many doors that the ground crew opens and closes during their preparation of the aircraft. I should have looked more closely at the panel; because if I had noticed that it was the oxygen service panel I would've known that it's not one the ground crew uses and I could've closed it myself.maintenance left the oxygen service panel open when they serviced it the night before. Neither I; the ground crew; nor the deice personnel noticed it open and closed it before takeoff.provide guidance to pilots as to which panels are routinely opened and which are not; and who is responsible for closing which panels.
