It's pretty common to have some slight humming when using dimmer switches. I wouldn't worry about it .
You may want to just install a new dimmer. Some of the older ones (especially the round rheostat type were very noisy. The newer ones (they look like a standard light switch but they are infinite in movement) are solid state and make no noise.
