There are generally whines and groans from the fuel booster pumps which are located under the forward cabin floor. The hydraulic system gurgles, knocks and sings in varying degrees.
I don't know much about 'corporate' DC3s but the noises you describe might well be inverters.
It's very rare to see a standard electrical or avionic layout on Daks/DC3s in my experience.
