Default Buzzing, Blowing Breaker

I have a circuit that keeps tripping the breaker. I can't find anything
wrong in the circuit. There is only a series of lights and a light sensor
to turn them on at night. One thing that seems to point me to the breaker
itself is that it buzzes when I reset it. It is also an extreeeeeeeeeeemly
old style breaker. Breakers shouldn't buzz, right?

They often buzz when there is a short of overload on them. It's possible
that you have a bad breaker, but more likely there's a problem on the
circuit.
