When I had this home built I raised the question about the use of light
dimmers. The electrician told me that Lutron were the best and I would not
have any noise generation problems. So that was what I had him install. I
have dimmers in all rooms of a 3700 SF home. These are hard wired (3 and 4
2 wire) not wireless. I have never heard a pip out of any of them.

Didn't see the initial note, but have dimmers in several dozen
fixture controls here and RFI on HF is zero. Key is using quality
products and having three-wire switches, not two wire.
I have 60 Lutron RadoRa wireless dimmer circuits and
have had zero problems in either direction since moving
from two-wire units to three-wire units.
