The noise sounds like scratching. As if there was something rubbing on the VFO knob. Put the radio on a dummy load, tune to 10M, make sure menu item VFO NR is off, and then tune the dial with the audio level up. On the couple of bands where I have heard the noise, i.e. 10M, I turned on VFO NR and its not a problem anymore.
