A bit of white noise is exceptable but when I listend to the recording on both Dr-05 and on my pc with my headphones, The white noise was way louder than the recording itself for some reason

The quality of recording itself is pretty good (extremely low level of volume though) but one huge problem that made me return this product was the white noise

Also recording from a radio that is not grounded at home might have led to some strange noises.

The loud clicking of any button hit ends up on recordings, buttons should have been designed as soft touch, not to make noise....any level adjustments on the fly will yield loud clicking noises in recordings3

DR-05 and on my PC, with or without my headphones, the white noise was louder than the recording itself for some reason
