In the first few minutes of operation unfortunate way fell to a pulsating noise in radio mode, which was permanently audible, so regardless of environment, power supply and radio reception. I would describe it best as the chirping of a (sick) Grille or similar. The noise was still audible. The device was therefore initially sent as defective for repair by the dealer. After a few days went a an official statement from the company Tivoli: the noise is known in this series and could not be regarded as a defect, because it was not heard during normal operation. It was circumvented by the use of a 12V power supply (available separately from third-party).
Unfortunately, the sound is very probably always audible - to medium noise levels - and also extremely disturbing. The trader confirmed this and showed his hand, indignant at the statement of Tivoli. Also, the 12V power supply did not resolve the problem. The dealer took the device therefore against refund and said that he would no longer offer the model for sale (I was the first buyer of a copy of this series).
This state of affairs is totally unacceptable for me. Both the problem per se, as well as the extremely unprofessional response of the manufacturer. I therefore speak of an urgent recommendation to buy the product does NOT sexy designs.
