Why is my light making a high pitched noise?
See the sound is caused by the dimmer switch interrupting the AC frequency. These can set up vibration in either the switch or the bulb. Its usually caused when they are under a higher load so if you have a 100watt bulb it may be thats the cause and say a 60watt bulb will eliminate the sound.
Why do lights make noise when turned on?
Incandescent Light Bulbs This ends up dimming the output of the light bulb. When you add and remove voltage, you will end up cooling and exciting the filament. When you do this, you end up with vibrations. These vibrations can lead to buzzing sounds.

Why are my new LED lights buzzing?
LEDs lack a filament or firing arc so there are no “moving parts” to cause humming. Unfortunately, LEDs still suffer from electromagnetic (EM) hum caused by incorrect dimming or EM interference by other devices. But, if your lights hum when dimmed or installed into sockets connected to a dimmer, it’s simple to fix.
Is it normal to hear light?
