Ahaha, it’s similar, but in this case it’s the ballast vibrating. Try unscrewing the light bulb and then screwing it back in. If it still buzzes try a different bulb, and if that buzzes, you may need to tighten your fixture. Engineering is fun!

Is it an iridescent bulb? When the filament is close to breaking it more easily vibrates because of the magnetic field induced by the current. It’s more pronounced on a dimmer switch, because of discontinuities in the wave and large current jumps.

This is why I need engineers in my life. I feel relieved that it’s more likely to burn out than explode on top of me. But it’s one of those swirly, low-energy ones (fluorescent?). Are they the same thing?
I have finally traced the ever-growing buzzing noise in my bedroom to its source: the lightbulb. It sounds just like never-ending high-pitched radio static and I’m pretty sure its going to spontaneously explode on top of my head any minute now.

Tumblr, are you eating my messages again? Are they really that tasty?
