This jumping does unfortunately create heat and might in worst case cause a fire. It might be easy enough as just tighten a few screws in order to correct this.


Why does dimmer switch cause ceiling light to make noise?

Dimmer switches control the amount of electricity flowing to the light fixture by rapidly turning the power on and off. This rapid cycling can cause the light fixture to vibrate or emit a buzzing sound, especially if the light fixture is not compatible with the dimmer switch. Upgrading to a dimmer switch designed for the specific type of light fixture can help reduce or eliminate the noise.

The noise emanating from a dimmer switch is typically due to electronic components vibrating as the dimmer adjusts the electrical current flowing to the light.
