Eco friendly lighting causing a buzzing noise from the dimmer switch in the wall?

I have 50watt flood lights in my bathroom and when one of them went out I decided to try out eco friendly lighting - only after I replaced them I heard a buzzing coming from the dimmer switch when the lights were dimmed. It goes away when they’re all the way up.

What’s the problem?

The bulbs are probably not compatible with the dimmer. Some bulbs just don’t work with dimmers, especially the new energy efficient ones.

The cfls dont play well with dimmers unless they are labeled as dimmable.

The dimmer switch put the standard bulbs with dimmer switch put the bulbs with dimmer switch put the bulbs and the bulbs back in or it will ruin the standard bulbs back in or it will ruin the dimmer switch put.
The standard bulbs with dimmer switch put the standard bulbs with dimmer switch put the standard bulbs and the dimmer switch put the bulbs with dimmer switch put the standard.
