It's been 40 years since I've seen a 16 much less worked on one, but one of the things we used to do with an issue like yours is to disable the sweep and see if the noise went away. The nice thing about a power transformer TV like the 16 is that it gives you the opportunity to remove any tube not associated with the circuit that seems to be suffering from spurious noise.

EDIT: LOL, I actually *remember* the last CTC16 I ever handled! It was somewhere about 1977 or so and I swapped it (with a new picture tube) for some minor body work on my 1973 Gran Torino. Johnny's Auto Body on West Main St. in Waterbury CT!!
