Thank you Guy! I will make note of this and start doing some hunting. If
something noisless was available in 1989 then hopefully something similar is
still being manufactured. My next door neighbour has no problem with me
swapping out the present dimmer for something quieter...she even offered to
remove it altogether but I don't want to be too heavy-handed since she also
has allowed me to string my 2200m three-wire flatop over the top of her
house and property to a tree on the far side of her property :-) ...a very
good neighbour indeed.

Hi Steve,
Your question about a "noiseless" light dimmer jogged an old memory for
me.
In one of the first editions of Fine Tuning's "Proceedings" books that I
helped edit, we had a short piece on this subject in a "Tips and
Techniques" article.
John Bryant recommended a Nutone model DC-35 dimmer, sold as a "suppressed
RF" light switch & dimmer for incandescent lamps only. He said it worked
like a charm, with no QRM even using a portable radio up close to the
switch.
John quoted the cost as $30 in 1989... likely quite a bit more now. David
Clark added that if you can't find this particular model, look for dimmers
sold as "studio quality".
