Hi Conrad, The flashlights have a switch which can be used to turn *off* the buzz during a recital. Also the DC units should NOT be unplugged for performances (imho). At least where I live during many times of year there is an audible difference after as little as 20 minutes of "unplug" time. Your mileage may vary. The whole reason for humidity control is stability--what better time to have it than during a recital? At least one location I know of uses an ups to power the humidity control system during concerts.
