You most likly have a transistor (s) problem. If you do not want to shot gun in some new ones, or take out and check tham one by one, then the problem you dicribe may be narrowed down by getting a can of freeze spray from the shack, then with a hair dryer heat up the transistors one by one some what ( dont fry them) then cool them down with the freeze spray, and see if the hot or the cold makes them noisy or stops it. this can all so show up bad solder connections that could be the root of this type of problem all so.
