Yes, very rarely do my NR attempts sound as good as EQ alone when 
evaluating the attempts with fresh ears in the morning.

If the HF noise has a tight, "edgy" or "gritty" quality (opposed to a 
"fuzzy hiss") it can be effective to "drill-out"  these (often 
several) prominent noise features with very narrow bandwidths of 
parametric EQ. When I find myself trying to treat noise below 4000Hz 
with anything, I know I'm setting myself up for what Dan describes 
perfectly. Rob D.
