  • The filaments in the bulb vibrate sometimes. Or if its a fluorescent bulb they buzz when they are about to die. Is it a dimmer switch perhaps? Dirty contacts? I don't know. I'm no expert but there isn't much to go off of here.

  • It might be the components/energy reacting to each other. I know that with slightly old-fashioned styled lamps can produce a "crinkling" sound inside the light bulb.
