This is an apples vs pecans question.

Better-stated questions:

What's the probability that a properly-designed and engineered linear power supply will radiate RF noise of sufficient amplitude to be bothersome?

What's the probability that a properly-designed and engineered switching power supply will radiate RF noise of sufficient amplitude to be bothersome?

Answer: unknown. likely small but equal.

What is the probability that a transformer/rectifier/capacitor filter/linear regulated power supply will generate and radiate (through AC power input or DC power output leads) RF noise of sufficient amplitude to be bothersome? That probability may not be zero.

What is that probability that a switched mode regulated power supply will be not "properly engineered" and generate and radiate RF noise of sufficient amplitude to be bothersome?

How do those two probabilities compare?
