Low voltage track lighting is making a buzzing sound when I dim the lights.

I INSTALLED SOME LOW VOLTAGE TRACK LIGHTING THAT USES MR16 BULBS. I ALSO WIRED IN A DIMMER SWITCH. THE TOTAL WATTAGE CONTROLLED BY THE DIMMER SWITCH IS 350W. THE LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE DIMMER IS ALL THE WAY UP. AS SOON AS I TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN I GET A HUMMING IN THE DIMMER AND THE LIGHTS. PLEASE HELP. THANKS

You failed to mention if you had a magnetic transformer or electronic transformer on your low voltage track lights. This is very important because you must match the DIMMER CONTROL SWITCH to the lighting load. For example, if you have a magnetic transformer, you need a MAGNETIC DIMMER CONTROL. If you have an electronic transformer you need an ELECTRONIC DIMMER CONTROL designed for that kind of load. Please note that the maximum load for an electronic dimmer is 300 watts!
