Good replies on making distinction between alternator whine and ignition
noise. This is definitely ignition noise.

I will follow up on the points suggested.

Thanks everyone !!

I've never seen ferrite lipstick, what's it look like?

And, how does it make the radio work better?

Ferrite (like a very small iron doughnut) cores can act as an electrical
noise filter if the cable that is susceptible or passing the noise is
wrapped through and around it multiple times.
