I have several in my house most of which are on at all times with no
resultant noise. Have had them abut 5 years and happy with them.

In my shack with a wire connected to the antenna input on my solid state
transceiver and the other end wrapped around the bulb:
1. Incandescent — no hash, 75 - 10M
2. CFL — hash if wire wrapped around the element, a bit louder at the base
but NO hash 6” away.
3. LED — GE & Phillips. Essentially the same results as with the CFL.
Nothing 6 inches away.
Longish thread on this back when the sale of incandescents in certain
wattage ranges were banned. Life as we knew it then did NOT end as feared
and the current LED alternatives are great IMHO!
