To check all your old (and otherwise) dimmers, get an AM portable, tune
between stations and sniff around outlets and switches with it. You will
find the culprit(s) fast!!!

Interesting! Didn't know Lutron had an upscale ($30) version. The Lutron
I am waiting to put in was 15 bucks at Home Depot, about triple the cost
of the cheapies they sell.

Dumb question, do the dimmer contraptions make noise only when a light
is on, being dimmed, or do they also produce noise when the light is
off and/or not being dimmed.

I've got a few old dimmers that came with the house, and this may be
one of my noise sources.
