Hard to say-
I am not that familiar w/ the amp-
however all tubes can make some noise on warm-up and cool down due to thermal expansion - some are noisier than others - Octals tend to make more noise than 9-pin bottles-
as a 'driver' tube between the pre amp section and the output tubes, it has a simple job - to give the signal enough boost to ride the power tubes to the Output transformers thence to the speakers-
the tube should work (as sitting in a drawer for 10 or 50 years does not change the tube, and they worked well before)
you may have a picky customer who is looking for a quieter / better(?) tube...
hard to know or to please-
I am sure you sold it for a reasonable price (as opposed to some of the rated and cryo treated tube costs, so coming to an agreement is important, but how much effort is it worth...
Happy Listening
