I don't see how the bulb can make sound unless there's air leakage on the glass envelope; I'm willing to bet it's the ballast. Was this HPS purchased new recently? If so, it may still be under "walk in & exchange" time frame of store you bought at. In the meantime, keep as many flouros/CFLs going as you can.
