Default Ballast fluorescent causes circuit breaker to buzz

I have an old ballast fluorescent (3 foot tube), and when it's on (even with the tube removed), the circuit breaker in the fusebox (MCB) buzzes loudly. I've put my lighting onto the computer's UPS, and now that buzzes too. How can a ballast cause this?
