dimmable led bulbs that don't buzz?

Anyone had any luck getting a dimmable led bulb that doesn't buzz?

I've got a couple, and if you screw them into a socket that is not controlled by a dimmer, they are quiet as a church mouse. As soon as you relocate them into a socket controlled by a dimmer, they buzz like a vibrator on a formica table.

I guess I'll end up getting CFL. I've recently gotten a few of the 10w leds that seem to work really well as a light bulb as long as they aren't screwed into a socket that's controlled by a dimmer. And since we've got 6 bulbs in our bathroom, I'd like to swap to a cfl or led. I've considered moving the dimmer to another socket, and may end up doing that.
