Are 3-way light switches better for hum/interference than dimmers?

I tried searching on the boards and found little to nothing on them.

Anyone have an first hand experience?

Thanks!

A 3way is used to turn off/on something from 2 different locations, like a hallway, different animals.

Oh I get it, your talking about 3way bulbs??

sorry bout that, yes 3way bulbs have none of the interference problems of dimmers.

Man am I glad I didn't get into a long-winded explanation of turning off the hallway lights before going to bed.
