Default Braking Producing Buzzing Sound?

I'm getting this buzzing sound coming from the front-left side of the car [Note: My steering wheel is on the right hand side] either in the engine bay or the left wheel, whenever I brake and a slight vibration from the brake pedal.

Also, the brake light sensor is on but when I press the brake pedal all the way in, it turns off.

Does anyone know what it means?

It means check your brake pad wear.

Pull the wheel off and turn the steering wheel to your right. You can visually inspect the pads through the caliper from there.

Ok thanks. But is the buzzing sound normal?

The only way to figure it out is to take a look.
