The other type of noise was what I'll call a "Squiggler" which was loud

Hi Bob,
You may be hearing high order harmonics of the square waves in a
switch-mode power supply (SMPS) which are ubiquitous -- there are at
least a couple of dozen in the typical US home -- or some power control
electronics, like a variable-speed controller for a motor.
Study this applications note, which ran several years ago in NCJ as a
two-parter. It provides lots of ideas about figuring out the type of
noise you're hearing, how to find the source, and how to kill (or
reduce) the noise.
