Can circuit breakers get 'noisy'? That is can they introduce noise on the line which might adversely affect sensitive circuit boards in appliances?

I have never heard of one. Why do you ask? Why do you think it is a circuit breaker?

A new breaker is cheap enough that its not worth wondering about. Just replace it, and see if it helps. You can always keep the old one as a spare.

This is Turtle.
Breaker can become noisey if the connection at the clips are not tight and set off a arking of the clips to the service box spade. The noise will be a buzzzzzz of the breaker when under any good load at all. If it was the connection. You should have stopped the buzzz when you put the new breaker in there. It is very rare to see a breaker buzzz but they can do it.
