Around here, lightning arrestors on these power cables are the prime
candidate. I have exactly the same issue here and every couple years
have to go track down one that has started making racket over the summer
storm season. The noise is in-band and you can't filter it generally
speaking. The good news is if your experience is similar to mine, the
power company will be able to fix your noise maker and the difference is
almost literally night and day.

This was a shock as both coax cables have commercial bead type choke
baluns.

I'm not shocked.
Bead type choke baluns are rarely effective on 160 meters.
Refer to K9YC's handbook (or read his prolific posts to this
reflector) to learn how to make effective chokes using large
toroids as opposed to beads.
