Does it make a little buzzing noise like more fluorescent lights do?

I was worried about the thumb-nail failing and the light falling on someone's head, so I gave it away. I don't remember a buzzing noise.

I have not heard a buzzing. I have not ever heard a buzzing with an ott light, I have three on in my sewing room

I have never heard buzzing from mine . All pancake lights in the motorhome were replaced with these.

There is a low level buzzing sound from this bulb when you dim it, but it's nowhere near as annoying as flourescent tubes

No they don't make a sound. Really bright when you turn them up and yet really low light when you turn them down. You need the dimmer turned half way up because they wont start on low current is the only thing i found. I am very happy with the performance and would buy again.

Mine makes the same buzzing sound, I have had it for about a year, however, it still works perfectly well. Just hold your finger on the on button for 2 seconds or so, or just press it again for a second to ensure that it is on.

Don't know about buzzing. Mine never lasted long enough to buzz. Don't buy these bulbs. Gone in a few weeks.

Mine does not make a buzzing noise. Contact customer service they will get you a replacement charger out promptly. Mine do take a full charge and last as long as the OR battery.

I know this is an old question but I just bought and installed this switch. I was worried (because of this question) about the switch buzzing. I have this hooked up to control 4 Cree 65W equivalent BR30 dimmable LED lights and notice no buzzing sound what so ever. Even at the lowest setting with my ear on the switch, I hear no buzzing.

Yes! I have 3 bulbs in one fixture, so I don't know if its just 1 bulb or all 3 making noise. It's like a crackling/popping noise and can happen up to 5 minutes after I turn the light off.

In my original review I pointed out that these flicker when dimmed, could also be associated with buzzing since the load is on and off. Mine are still going strong after considerable use, however, I rarely dim since the flickering is irritating.

I have been using this for a few months now and have not heard a buzz at all. It dims the bulb. At the end point you sort of see the bulb with some very dim light still but it fades. I think it really works well

Yes, and it makes a buzzing sound but it's in closet so no big deal for me. I do like the unit. Also very heavy and well constructed. I like the input features.

No buzz, hum or any sound whatsoever on mine. I think it would depend on the dimmer used, not the bulb. Some dimmers are ok for LED's. Some are not. Excellent bulb and light.

I haven't noticed any buzzing at all. It's in a lamp beside couch. I think would notice if it was an issue.

It does hum for awhile but the hum seems to decrease in intensity over a short time. (Or else I get sleepy and fall asleep)Love the light. Would purchase the same again.

I've never heard any buzzing or "electrical noise". There's normal fan noise on the higher settings. It's virtually inaudible on the lower two settings.

I've had the lamp for a couple of months now and have not noticed any humming or other noise when on. I sometimes have it on for a couple of hours at a time and it has been cool to the touch.
