Unless you're in a screen room or 100 miles from civilization, the background 
noise is going to cover up any minuscule noise that the best switchers for ham 
use are going to emit.

Any AC switching power supply simply can not be as quiet as a transformer type 
power supply. Also AC switching power supplies have some of their input 
circuitry across the AC power input any time that supply is plugged into the 
wall .... therefore is more subject to damages from transients and lightening 
events on the AC power lines ..... even if the equipment connected to it is 
powered off. Some AC switching power supplies have RFI emitted that can only be 
eliminated by unplugging it from the wall ..... or using a real world 
mechanical power switch that actually disconnects the AC input.
