With the power supply switched off completely?
so to solve this.....move them apart. Add a muamp shield around the inductor..... buy an inductorless Wah. Or a new power supply.
Moving the power supply slightly, or rotating it if it’s possible to do that, can sometimes find a null spot even when they’re quite close together, but if that’s not possible then you’ll simply have to move them further apart or use a wah without a choke, eg a Morley.

That article explains some stuff about it too.
But if you google 'strymon zuma wah pedal' theres a few videos on the tube of people putting wahs right on top of the zuma and not having any issues while comparing it to other power supplies.
Thing is, they aint cheap.
Though like others have said there are other options for cheaper!
I have tried various things. If I take the wah off the board, powered just by a battery and run guitar -> wah -> amp, without going through the board, if I move the wah anywhere over the board whilst powered it hums. This happens with both my wahs, a Dunlop and a Fulltone Clyde.
It's only a small board (Pedaltrain Jnr) so I can't get the wah far away enough from the power supply anywhere on the board. The power supply is a Voodoo Labs PT2+ and I'm reluctant to buy a different supply if the same thing is going to happen.
The only solution I have found is to run the wah off the board, then all is fine.

This sort of thing is one of the reasons I ditched pedalboards and went back to a multi-FX .

The 1-Spot doesn't have this problem I used to have a wah on a Jr pedaltrain with another 9ish pedals all powered by a 1-Spot, no issues.
Fingers crossed...........
