I recently converted about 30 ceiling floods to LED. I used the Phillips
brand 90W bulbs and I have not noticed any noise.

Subject: [RFI] LED lights to avoid
A ham friend did some kitchen remodeling recently. The contractor used LED
ceiling lights from Home Depot that turned out to be pretty noisy.
Unfortunately,
he didn't get a screen grab but he described the noiseas broadband. Below
are
his comments and solution.

This is the Home Depot LED light I mentioned at lunch today that was so
noisy.

They looked nice but looks were very deceiving. I think it is a good idea
to avoid
the Home Depot Commercial Electric brand of lighting. We replaced them with
GE flood lights and a snap in trim piece.
I also put GE LED light bulbs in the bedroom ceiling fans and they are
quiet.
I have several of the Sylvania candelabra base lights in decorative
chandeliers
and they too are quiet.
Best approach to changing over to LEDs is buy one and test it before you buy
for the entire project.
