I am seeing a 5 KHz wide 'white' audio signal every 134 KHz between 5 MHz and 20 MHz. Any clues? |

That is a rather high frequency which would suggest perhaps a high resolution monitor screen rather than a switching power supply. It may also be a high speed digital device. Typically it makes more sense to locate a device first, rather than to spend a lot of time trying to ID it. I'd suggest listening on a battery powered radio and shutting down all the power in your own home. There may be issues with battery backup and slow shutdowns of devices.

Why would any device repeat every 134 KHz across a wide spectrum? |

Here are some attempts to answer the question of why signals have harmonics. https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/32310/what-exactly-are-harmonics-and-how-do-they-appear#:~:text=The20of20square,so20signals20distorted. |
