I don't quite get it.
What you refer to as "noise" - is it the same crackling noise?
So when you changed the rectifier the first time, the drackling stopped and then you changed the rectifier again and it is back? Even with the rectifier that seemed to stop it?
Does it stop when the rectifier is out?
If yes,
Get the crackling going.
Remove all tubes one by one, see if it stops at some point.
If not, see if you have a very dirty panel for rectifier or very loose contacts.
Poke around with an insulated wand, see if you can touch somewhere and make the noise.
Then if nothing helps, go to caps.
BTW - have you recapped it yet?
