I'll get back to you in a couple of decades if it did, but I read an article that said that lightbulbs may reach a point where they last so long that they are something people take with them when they move homes, like furniture.

It seems crazy to think of a time when people might buy just a few lightbulbs in their lives, but it'd be great for reducing landfill.
Oh sorry, I just noticed you said you didn't use the fluorescent bulbs. Mine don't seem to make a buzzing noise, but I guess, if you are using sensitive recording equipment, it probably picks up the slightest noise.
