You could be going into some sort of oscillation - do you have the transformer mounted, or hanging loose like in the photo? You may be inducing hum with those clip leads so close to other circuits.

Sometimes an under-filtered power supply will "motorboat" - did you replace the filters with proper 40uF units?

When it howls does the B+ vary? An under rated (current handling...) transformer could also cause motorboating.
