In my garage, I get hum from 9 high output ballasts, plus additional
harmony from the contactors for the ballasts and for my electric space
heater, and from the transformer for my cyclone's contactor. When I
open a gate and the cyclone comes on, I add in the distinctive cyclone
howl, plus the hum from the cyclone's contactor. When the house
furnace kicks on in the next room with it's high pitched scavenger
fan, followed shortly by the mid-bass rumble of the main furnace
motor, the excitement really starts to build. When I add to this the
whine of an idling router, tablesaw blade, or planer, followed shortly
by a nice long moan as the work hits the blades, it's almost more than
any human should be able to stand!
Man, do I love electricity!

What's the temperature in the shop ?
Depending on the type/quality of the bulb/fixture this may just go away
after things warm up. Or it may continue during cold weather.
