I bought 5 of these and I can't get them to stop buzzing. I bought 2 recommended switches, none work, thoughts?

I also get a slight buzzing. My understanding is that this is common with most LED lighting when they are put on dimmers

I replaced 8 incandescent flood light bulbs with these conversion kits using the existing cans and I have no buzzing noise. I was concerned that the conversion would not work or result in hearing the buzzing so I upgraded the dimmer switch as well. I installed "Lutron Contemporary dimmers" and I do not have the problem at all. I love my new lights. If I was to advise someone who did not already have the cans installed I would tell them that you also need fewer bulbs to create the same amount of light.

This is odd since i have installed a number of them in my house and they are completely silent. I used standard on-off light switches too - nothing special. Are you using a dimmer switch? If so, is it made for LED lights and is it robust enough? Other ideas - get rid of the dimmer switch if you are using one, ensure the screw-in bulb end is screwed in all the way each fixture, or other lighting on the same circuit is causing feedback and electrical noise. This is probably not much help but good luck on solving this.

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, unfortunately this is true. I've had this set for over a year, every once in a while speakers stop working because speakers cannot handle "sudden" loud sounds. sometimes I am using this set as monitor speakers while recording music, this is complete disaster, the buzzing sound and cutting in/out.....I recommend investing a bit more money and getting better brand.

I have never had the buzzing with my headphones. I would say it is probably your set, check to make sure it is fully plugged in, if so I would ssy your set is defective.

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

I didn't have that problem with the ones I bought. They have worked fine. Might be a problem with one you received, or if you have a way to adjust your pre-amp some may help to corrext the isssue.

The switch itself does not ever emit a noise that I can hear. The actual bulbs though, (I am using dimmable LED bulbs) will start to flicker slightly and emit a slight buzzing noise when this dimmer is turned below ~35%. I am able to safely dim down to 40% without any flickering or buzzing whatsoever.

Mine work wonderful! I use them all the time. No clicking, maybe it's interference from something else.

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.

That's normal. Mine buzzes quite a bit, especially with lighter strings. Try a heavier gauge string and I bet the buzz stops.

I have several of the units and there is not a buzz noise only a hmmmm like a fan. I think something must be lose in your unit. I can put mine on silent and I don't hear it at all...try that....if its still buzzing then something is wrong. They are great units.

I have mine set on timer and it does buzz when it comes on. It seems to be operating correctly and it doesnt bother us as its in the master bedroom.

I have the PN50B650 and no buzz. I have owned the set for about 6 months and have not had any problems. I would try an exchange before giving up on the Sammy. I really like mine.

The lights buzz when they are at a medium level of light. I don't think this is uncommon with LEDs. The buzzing is virtually gone when it is on full power, and very faint when using at the lowest setting (we use it for a night light). I am using the lutron DIVA dimmer the package says it works with.

I wish I new more about them and could help u. Mine starts funny when I plug it in and then when I push the button twice it sets it to the setting I like. Maybe u got a bad one. Mine has worked well. Good luck

Yep--I have two, and they make buzzing noises. I recently rearranged my furniture, so it might just be that I'm sitting closer to the cat beds and noticing the noise now. At any rate, they for sure buzz now.

I've had mine for a year in a kitchen fan/light. No noise. But, LED's seem to be sensitive. They flicker with a power drop/surge. This is with all my LED's.
