It doesnt sound like electrical popping if that s what you mean. just fast clicking and then the breaker flips
Sounds like an overload that doesn't quite trip the breaker all at once.
I had one like that in my condo: whenever I would use the microwave and another high-amp drawing appliance at the same time (say the spousal associate was vacuuming) it would do this high-speed click/rattle, then finally pop the breaker open.
I don't remember what I did to fix it (pulled a larger gauge wire/breaker, add a circuit, or something).
Anyway, check the compressor for a bound/binding motor, and/or loose connection. Might be able to get this fixed on the seller's dime if there was an inspection done and it wasn't mentioned.
