The light switch makes a croaking sound when it is switched on. Why?


 If your light switch makes a crackling sound, it can be very annoying, especially if the noise wakes you up from a deep sleep. Are you worried about what might have caused the crazy sound of the light switch? Is it because you forgot to call the electrician for electrical service? If your light switch is also making noises at the same time, it is essential that you call an electrical maintenance team before the situation worsens and becomes potentially dangerous.

How does a light switch work?

To understand why a light switch makes noise, it is important to first learn how a light switch works. Have you ever seen an electrician or an electrical maintenance worker working on light switches?

If not, we will explain the process to you. The electric light switch works thanks to a constant flow of current in the socket. When you turn the switch on, electricity flows through the light and when you turn it off, the current flow automatically stops.

Why does the light switch make noise?

Defective or worn switches

When was the last time you had an electrical service or maintenance carried out? One of the most common reasons why the light switch makes noise could be due to worn switches. The basic wiring could be loose or faulty and cause the light switch to make noise. The best solution is to have the wiring checked by a professional electrician before the lights stop working.

Incorrect insulation

Have you called an electrical service team to take a look at your electrical panel? If you hear crackling or popping sounds coming from the light switch, it means that there is something wrong with the insulated wiring. It means that the flowing electricity is trying to fill a gap in the wiring, but due to a fault it cannot. To eliminate these problems, contact your electrician or electrical maintenance team. They will help you replace or repair the faulty light switch that is making noise.

Is a crackling light switch dangerous?

Do you have any idea how dangerous a crackling light switch can be? A crackling light switch, if left unattended, can create serious hazards, including electrical fires and short circuits. It is important to repair the switch as soon as possible to ensure the safety of your family.

Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve.
