The bulbs I just bought from screwfix say dimmable. I've jsut replaced it as the one before flashed when dimmed. The noise is coming from the switch rather than the bulb.
That just means the bulb has a circuit in it that detects what the dimmer is trying to do and adjusts its brightness to match.
The problem is most dimmers are simple cheap circuits that need a minimum load (i.e. number of watts) to work properly. LED bulbs can't compensate for that.
You either need to get a different dimmer that's happy driving a small LED load or resign yourself to app-controllable bollocks.

There’s the halfway house of app controlled bollocks with a hardware switch set up for the settings you use most often, which is what we have.

Bonus of app controlled bollocks : turning all the lights in the house green and hanging silhouette bats in the windows for Halloween
