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!
