Will this switch buzz/hum?

I've had this switch installed for a couple of months now and cannot hear any buzzing.

It should not make any noise, however, you may be able to feel a slight electrical vibration. I have several of these in my home and none of them buzz or hum, at least not that I or my family can hear. Ok, good luck!

yes it will, but you may end up with hum, it is a tube preamp, it does have a bass guitar setting. you can return it, so hell try it.

If you experience any hum or buzzing sound, make sure the lights are not on a circuit with a dimmer switch. The Hue lights work best with a toggle power switch. Dimming happens in the LED bulb components.

At high power levels there is a hum. At lower levels there is little or no noise.

The contactor is inexpensive, so there is a noticeable coil hum/buzz. But does that with everything. Should work just fine with fluorescent fixtures.

My unit does not make a loud buzzing sound but does have a slight humming sound from fan operating similar to a computer. Call tech support, they are awesome

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.

Technically if it is plugged in it is always on. But after months having it constantly on i have yet to hear any buzzing noise or hum.

It does buzz ever so slightly. It actually sounds like power transistors oscillating (like high frequency switching). Anyway, it makes it dependent on the load. The cleaner the item being switched, the less noise. I had a lamp w/ a bad bulb, and it made more more noise than when I switched to a different bulb. Honestly, I really don't notice it unless I'm really looking. It's a great switch.

we are not using it to power audio equipment so i do not know if it will produce a hum in your equipment the unit itself is quiet I know some supplies do hum but the one we have is quiet

No, it doesn't! And despite being very accurate mine created a buzz after some time. I think it's the battery or sth. else ratteling at certain frequencies.

I've never heard any buzz when I have if off, even though it is connected to a receiver. Before though it didn't make a sound and works fine.

I've successfully plugged both into a power source without humming. However, I suspect it may vary from power source to power source, and maybe even from unit to unit. Your milage, it might vary.

it will make a slight hum but if its that noisy take it apart and clean and reassemble may help

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

Hello Dale, don't forget about the volume control on the back of the unit. Also, switching the polarity might help on the buzzing sound. Hope this helps.

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.
