One thing to add, is that the 27 (227) tube, Brobertson mentioned, was one of the first to have a cathode sleeve around the filament. These tubes often have high resistance shorts on the h/k. This will make noise. It can also cause hum. Often times the H/K problem will come and go as the tube heats up.
