[sdiy] Transistor help

[Fiercefish]

Hi all,
        I have just bought a batch of 2n3904's for my soundlab minisynth project, I have a meter that can measure the hFE of them so will this allow me to select matched pairs by choosing those with the closest value? Also I apparently need to find some noisy 3904's for the noise generator, what sort of hFE reading (if any) would yield the most noise eg high or low? Sorry if these seem like dumb questions, I do not know if the hFE value is related to these factors but it is the only method I have of testing them, unless there is another way of course. I'd be greatful for any input or other suggestions, thanks.

PS Does anyone know where I can get some 2k tempco resistors?
