Fwiw, I have had the MFJ4245 model 12v 40 amp power supply for over three years and have not heard any sounds out of it rf wise. It powers my icom 756 and Yaesu ft-7100 without so much as a blip at the factory 13.8v setting.
Took the cover off of it recently and blew out three years worth of dust bunnies with canned compressed air and put the cove back on.
There is a fan in the back of the supply, it runs very quiet compared to the fan on my AL-800h.
To go on for a moment, I have had three MFJ/Ameritron amps and other MFJ products, no problems with any of their stuff at all save for me needing more rf horsepower over the passage of time.
Good gear for the $$$ spent considering there are so few vendors catering to the sadly decreasing ham radio market.

Any feedback , comments experience
on LIGHTWEIGHT travel amp -
The new MFJ ALS 600 with switching supply
looks good RF deck 12.5 lbs and switching
supply is 10 lbs - output 500w
Is the switching supply quiet RF wise?
Is MFJ still building less than quality stuff ?
Any suggestions in UNDER 30 lbs class
for Travel AMP - again AL 811 comes
to mind - MORE MFJ
I wish there was a two part amp with PS
separate that could be under 30 lbs and
output at least 600w on CW
Any suggestions ?
