Depending on the circuit, adding a capacitor alone may just shift the
resonant frequency of the associated wiring.  Try adding a capacitor
with a small value resistor in series with it, about 50-100 ohms or
so.  The resistor will absorb the stray RFI much better than a
capacitor alone.  If you find it makes an improvement, temporarily
connect a potentiometer of the appropriate value and vary it while
someone listens for minimum noise.  When you find the "sweet spot",
replace the pot with a resistor of that value.
