Is there a way to mask the buzzing sound fluorescent lights make through microphones and speakers?

Question

I have a microphone mounted near fluorescent bulbs (and needs to stay there) and the sound of the electricity buzzing is being picked up in the mic and relayed through the speakers. I understand many fluorescents tubes make a slight buzzing sound when turned on, but is there a way to mask that sound?

The head of the mic is about a foot and a half away from the two bulbs and the mic wires have to hang over the fixture as well.

Answer 1

The only way is by changing out the florescent bulbs for
incandescent bulbs. This is the only way if you cannot
move the mic away from the light.

Answer 2

Try covering the mic or shielding the mic with a sponge like material, a layer or two, it's what they use in the recording studios to by pass the sound of silence (eg - air) and pick up directly the voice.

Answer 3

well - the only solution is to move the mic wires away from the electrical feed for the lights

got to reroute the mic wires - OR - reroute the electric feed to the lights
