I just put 3 flourescent replacement lights in my bathroom (shaped like a
spiral, meant to replace the incandescent bulb in the same socket).

When I turn on the power there is a very audible hum. I know that
flourescent's can hum but did not think it would be this bad. Is the
humming a possible indactor of another problem? I can't have a bulb that
makes this sound in a small bathroom.
I have used plenty of various sizes and brands, but never had one hum
Try it in a different fixture. If it still hums take it back and try a
different one.
If it doesn't hum in the second fixture, well.. I am not sure what to say.
