I keep reading this about fluorescent lights and yes, some are noisy but
most are no problem. I have a four foot, two tube fluorescent in my shack.
No noise from it at all. I have four, four foot, two tube fixtures in the
garage. No problem with them either.

provides some relief from
household appliances & the neighbors dimmers (a device that is
outlawed in my home as are flourescent lights - real noise
generators).

Once the old ballast type have started up into a good bulb you will
probably not hear much noise from a fluorescent but the newer high
efficiency switching type can make plenty of noise.
