Had originally installed 26 watt CFL's to replace 100 watt filament type.
Many noise problems as time passed.
Have now replaced all with Halogen 72 watt soft white.
Still have some power saving, but no noise from them, so far.

When a CFL fails it is invariably the electronic ballast that goes -
often breaking down (arcing internally) under the high voltage.
