That's one reason I've changed to switching power supplies for all of the needs of my stations. No transformer hum, much higher efficiency. And the ones I've chosen do not produce objectionable RF products.

I've got a Corsair II I'm planning on recapping with Ultra Low ESR
electrolytics. There's a high pitched buzz I can hear which is
distracting somewhat but is mostly absent when the narrow filters are
engaged.

It was there when I sent it to the factory for repair several years
ago and they found no problems but I notice it and it was not there
on my Omni and is not there on my other radio (not a Corsair).

Any suggestions of which board I might start replacing the caps on to
eliminate this noise?

Thanks!
