Lighting – A hanging lamp makes buzzing sound when on

lighting

As in the title, I've got a lamp hanging from the ceiling, with a regular E27-screw bulb attached. When I turn the light on, there's a quiet, buzzing noise.

The lamp was installed a couple of weeks ago and I am not sure whether the noise was there from the start, as the lamp was not used often.

While the noise is there, the light keeps still, no flickering.

I've tried 2 other bulbs and the problem persists, which tells me it's either the lamp itself, or the way it was installed.

What do you think this is?

Does this lamp have a florescent ballast inside? This type of lighting will make that hum you are describing. If so, you can replace the ballast.
