Is a dimmer noisy when it's turned OFF?


Friends, my wife wants to add a rheostat to the dining room ceiling lamp. I know that dimmers are big sources of electrical noise, could will it have any effect on my listening room power when it's turned completely off? Just want to be sure.

No , dimmers do not add noise when off . For that matter I haven't experienced any noise when they are on . I think it would take very sensitive equipment and a bats ear to hear any noise .
