Are you sure its the breaker? A breaker should have nothing in it capable
of buzzing. Perhaps there is a transformer close by. When dust gets into
transformers they can buzz. Try vacuuming out your breaker panel if its
dusty or cobwebby.


And the motion detector is affecting the transformer just how?

Obviously by placing a load on it.


And if it WAS a transformer buzzing, just how does dust make it buzz?
Loose windings or laminations maybe, but certainly not non-metalic dust.


Transformers buzz all the time. It does not take much to cause it. A
dirty core can do this. Certainly if it causes the transformer to
overheat.

Conventional breakers have an electromagnet in them which is quite
capable of trying to act like a crummy loudspeaker if things get a
little loose inside it. Here's an animation of a breraker, albeit an ad
for someone's hot-shot improved breaker.

Sheesh....Learn a little about how things work before trying to teach
others, guy.
