sorta OT: do your dimmers buzz?

We have dimmers on the pendants over our island and sink and also for the fixture over our breakfast table. All of them hum even when not dimmed, one of them so much that I don't really like turning on the light at all. When I actually dim the lights the buzz drives me crazy. Is this the fixture, the dimmer or the bulbs? Our dimmer in our dining room doesn't do that. It's a Lutron, and the fixture has candle bulbs. I don't know what the brandof the other dimmers is but it's the kind that has a regular switch with a tiny vertical toggle next to it.
I complained to the electrician and he said maybe I should get "industrial strength" lightbulbs, whatever those are! with thicker filaments he says.
DOes any one else have this problem? I am about ready to get rid of the dimmers altogether, but I'd really like to have one in the eating area.
Thanks!
