Default Dimmer Switch: How to stop filament buzz?

I have a 100W globe style bulb attached to a simple 2-way dimmer. The thing
(the bulb) buzzes like crazy on anything other than full on and full off.
You can even see the filament flapping in the inert breeze.

Is there no way to fully remove this buzzing? I know a little about the
higher speed switching techniques involved, and I also know about the wave
deforming that some do. But is there not something foolproof? Seems like
something that should have been solved by now.

Thanks


Its the bulb, try different styles. A lower watt should buzz less.
