Hi,
You can't count on a brand staying quiet...  Manufactures change things 
while keeping the model numbers the same...

Your best bet is to test prior to install.  When you purchase ask about 
RFI, (a chance to educate the sales people), and make sure you can 
return the lights...

I found a set of LED bulbs from GE that were dead quiet.  I want all my 
lighting to be the same color temp, and expect to loose a few bulbs over 
time.  I bought 20 of them, all from the same batch number.  That way, 
in a few years, when one dies, I have a replacement of the same color 
temp, and that is quiet.

73, and thanks,
Dave (NK7Z)
