Your AC contactor may be buzzing due to a loose connection or a faulty contactor. To fix it, you can try tightening any loose connections or replacing the contactor if it is damaged. It is recommended to seek help from a professional HVAC technician for a proper diagnosis and repair.
In a AC contactor, a shaded ring is essential to prevent it from buzzing twice a cycle. Ac contactor takes a input of alternating voltage resulting an alternating current and flux through its windings. So The contactor buzzes each time the magnitude of alternating magnetic field reaches zero. The shaded rings are provided at some part of the core. When the alternating flux cuts them the produce another alternating magnetic field which is out of phase from the main magnetic field. So the resultant magnetic field no more zero at the contacts and which prevents the contact from buzzing.
No, you definitely cannot.
Contactor chatter can be caused by a broken shading ring winding on the pole face of the contactor. Low voltage to the coil can be another reason for contactor chatter. A constant hum on a contactor will be caused by misalignment to the two pole faces. Check for rust building up on the two surfaces.
A definite purpose contactor is designed (and rated) for a specific load. So a lighting contactor is one example of a definite purpose contactor. A motor starter contactor is another example. So, a lighting contactor is a definite purpose contactor, but a definite purpose contactor is not necessarily a lighting contactor (it might be a motor starter, for instance).
Common signs of a bad AC contactor include the air conditioner not turning on or off properly, frequent cycling, or a humming noise. To diagnose a bad contactor, visually inspect it for signs of burning or wear, and use a multimeter to test for continuity. If the contactor is faulty, it can be replaced by disconnecting power, removing the old contactor, installing a new one, and reconnecting the wires.

A shading coil in a contactor is used to hold the AC contactor's pole faces closed during the transition of the voltage through the zero voltage phase of an electrical cycle.For an excellent description see related links below.

Your dimmer switch may be buzzing due to a loose connection or incompatible light bulbs. To fix it, try tightening the connections, using compatible bulbs, or replacing the dimmer switch if necessary.
The AC compressor contactor in an air conditioning system is responsible for controlling the flow of electricity to the compressor. It acts as a switch that allows the compressor to turn on and off based on the thermostat's signals, helping to regulate the temperature in the space being cooled.
