Yup, I am having the same problem.
I recently fitted a gator board and thats when I started hearing the noise. I'd describe it as a low volume mid/high frequency "whistle".
It wasn't there with the passive mod, only with the Gator in place.
My Murata's are from the original batch of mods. Stan reckoned it was probably switching noise from teh Murata's, the noise i'm hearing being "switching noise" from the regulators.
Most folk get their Gator's to play nice with the Murata's, so maybe its system dependant? Not sure how though but its maybe a possibility.
I read here that a couple of guys had the problem and solved it by hooking up an extra cap somewhere near the Murata.
Cant remember the details sorry! Would be good if one of those guys pitched up?
If its switching noise...the solution might be to get a non switching regulator.
as someone said though..they are pretty pricey...
Glad its not just me thats having this problem!
*EDIT*
any chance it could be power supply dependant?
I shortened the cable on my Maplins CB Radio linear supply and Im pretty sure the noise is even louder??
odd...
