Mine doesn't make any noise in the radio, but, it's in the living room 
believe it or not, dead center of the apartment, meaning I can't get away 
from it with the radio equipment, that thing is so loud here, not in the 
radio but mechanically, in person, I can't even hear the TV over it, good 
thing we hardly use tv, basically we have to walk around the apartment in 
the winter with noise canceling headphones on. to listen to the computers, 
music, whatever. Bedroom's the only place it's a tiny bit better but it was 
2/3 of the way through winter before I could sleep through it. We actually 
got an electric blanket and turned the heat way down at nights to minimize 
the problem, but if I put headphones on with my TS-2000, I can't hear 
anything from the furnace through it.
