Just don't ever brake! lol .....mine does the buzzing too, as for the vibration, get to a steady speed and gently apply pressure to the brake lever, if you feel a small vibration in the lever, rotor could be warped.
By turning on left side, the rotor (normally floating ones) have tendency to vibrate because of the weight it apply on the caliper pads since it moves on the bushing of the support attached to the hub. A loose bushing rotor bushing or worn out can do this! If you have spokes rims, check them to make sure none are loose

Welcome to the forum.
The noise is normal.
Brakes are for quitters, anyway.

Not sure about solid rotors. I would assume the cooling holes may cause some clicking.

Buzzing sound is normal, my 07 has done it since new. Still running original pads. Gas is on the handle bar, just twist it!
