This is a really old and noisy fixture from 1967! Just listen to those sounds and watch how it flickers when it starts!! Just amazing!
The humming from the ballast must be produced by the old magnetic core being separated by wear and heat.
I think it is a 40W linear fluorescent, with a Sylvania starter... I don't know what kind of ballast it uses, but as this is located on a really old house dating back to 1968, which is just about to get through a process of remodeling, so I'll try to keep the ballast, starter (and perhaps the bulb) to myself.
