It was almost all leakage from ring-crimp connectors. (Your comments
contained your own answer :-) He replaced them with compression connectors,
probably the Snap-n-Seal from Belden.

I had a couple of pieces of RG-59 that he changed in favor of a better cable
from a spool he brought. Most of my runs were Belden 9275, which he said
was fine -- if terminated properly.

I had the same situation, my house was singing and the tech heard it
from a major road close to my house. The company was doing an upgrade
and were out correcting all the problems before the change.
The tech replaced 7 ring type connectors in my hot Fl, attic and one
inside where my router was connected.
The repairs eliminated an interference pattern on two channels.
The upgrade increased my internet speed.
I have since bought compression type connectors and a tool to install
them.
