I can't tell for sure from the angle the picture is taken at, but it doesn't look like the Hall sensor is mounted in the correct orientation relative to the magnet. Could you post a couple of pics taken from x,y,&z directions?

Also, it looks like the Hall end of the PCB is unsupported and the Hall chip is dangling at the end of its long leads. It could be vibrating. Try stuffing some tissue paper under the leads to dampen it and see if it makes a difference. Easy enough to try.
