| Not very often do I hear about electronic ballasts buzzing or humming. That sounds like it *might* be too tough on
the ballast.

| I think a 2 lamp T8 ballast would be a better match for your F15T2s

| At my place of work, I have several (not sure how many, they are switched in 2x8 banks) that hum just like their magnetic cousins. They are 2xF32T8 instant start on 347V mains. It's not really loud, only audible when there is no noise at all in the room.
