So do I have to ask for anything special if I buy flourescent fittings, or are any and all modern fittings now silent?

Possibly but in my case they are fed from a transformer and so no switch mode PSU. So definitely the LEDs themselves. I did speak to TLC-Direct and they recognised that in some cases it is a problem and so they sent me some 'ferrets' (sic) to go in the leads feeding the LEDs.
