Try tightening it down (the bolts) and it may help (will also help the sound from the amp too). Otherwise if this doesn't work its probably the laminate in the transformer (the doping) - nothing can be done except replacement. Someone else may have other advice... Hope this helps!

If you take the cover off your amp you should be able to pinpoint the source of the noise.
