You could reverse the electros and 9v and ground connections to use NPN transistors. You can try reversing the collector and emitter to use PNPs at that point but that doesn't usually work well.

To be honest it sounds like you're getting ahead of yourself trying to eliminate the noise issue by other means when it seems that you have used randomly selected transistors. I could be misunderstanding though

Generally speaking, introducing your wall wart will only make issues worse with the fuzz face
