Does this bulb make an irritating noise?

Yes. The crackling/popping noise that was only occurring after the bulb was turned off, now happens while on also.

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

Not that I've noticed. I have numerous LED bulbs, and none of them buzz. If they do I would send them back.

No. Not a sound. No odd flashing at any light level, or any of the other odd issues that sometimes happen with LED replacements.

Very slight flicker when turning on -- not annoying at all. Instant on. However, they do flicker when it is time to change a bulb. I've had 20 in my family room ceiling since 1993. They are on constantly and I haven't had to change a bulb in over 15 months.

No mam, it makes a very high pitched "ting ting" sound. It's really quite annoying but my little girl loves her so I deal. Haha

When mine was first installed, my electrician said I would hear some noises (something like a popping noise) after the unit shuts off and that would be normal. I'm not sure why. I've had mine installed for over 7 months and have not had any issues with it. I don't know for sure if it no longer makes the noise, or if it stops after a time.

Mine does make some noise when I move it from room to room, however I wouldn't say it is loud.

I don't mind the noise at all. The actual problem is that it appears as obstruction after turning it on for a bit.

It has a low hum, but the noise is not bothersome. I haven't noticed a light flashing when low or empty... I think it just turns off.

Mine doesn't. Sounds like there may be a defect or a crack in the plastic. I had trouble with a bulb splitting and found the company to be very responsive.

I've been using these lamps since July 2013 and I have never noticed any kind of sound. I highly recommend these Philips bulbs and enjoy not having to climb my stepladder to change the old incadecent bulbs anymore.

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.

No, I have had no problems with any odor. I am sorry if you had it in the past. I also use a bigger bulb which is 65 watts and there hasn't been any problem either.

No problems so far. I bought the bulb it at Home Depot, installed and forgot about it. That's the last time I touched that bulb. It has been a year. Working without a glitch. Opener is smooth, quiet and it is so good I expect it to work everytime I touch the remote. Never gave it a second thought. Hope that answers your question.

No. I have had it for a couple months now and I personally hear nothing as others have claimed some crackling sound. I highly recommend it over others. It even has this sensor that cranks it up if there is a smell and believe me it works, my dog has gas sometimes and it takes care of it in no time. It also has this easy to use remote that I have not seen on other units. As far as the intense blue lights, they make for a great night light.

Since this is a digital timer, I have not noticed it make any noise. The lights that are controlled by the timer make more noise turning on than you ever hear from the timer itself.
