Replaced a faulty dimmer switch to a market leading V-pro and the lights were fine. gu 10 dimmable lamps

Left the job client said there was buzzing, i returned with another dimmer switch designed for GU10 LED lamps, once again no buzzing when i left however the lady emailed me asking me to return as they are buzzing.

I returned with yet another dimmer and the lights where not buzzing before or after i changed dimmer and no buzzing.

I HAVE JUST GOT ANOTHER EMAIL SAYING THEY ARE BUZZING

Could there be an underlying issue with her cabling, although if that were the case they would flicker no?

or is this client just being strange with me as this only occurs when i am away?

no doubt they asked if you would remove it, i had a bothy to rewire at a guest house when i first started, the loud buzz and copious amounts of bees in the loft meant i took my 2 weeks holiday over the period this job was booked in LOL

Quite right as well

Maybe here hearing is just better than yours ?
I did not realise how bad my hearing was until it was tested ?
Also buzzing/vibration can come and go.

Que?

All electronics give off a slight buzz, but it comes and go. Could be dimmer, could be any one of the lamps once they've been on a while.
Was there a TV in the room? If that was recently turned to standby, there might be a buzz from that?
You cant keep going back and forward with replacement dimmers.

I've got bad memories of problems dimming leds, I read a really informative article about the issues which can arise, I'll look it up and post it back shortly,
