With CH on, this (new, along with another vertical and two horizontal column rads) is making dripping, flowing type noises - the others are almost completely silent, other than when the heating first comes on or goes off. The system has been bled for air several times. I can only assume that there is still air trapped in the radiator or elsewhere in the system and I should keep bleeding it, even though it is just water coming out at this point, until the noise stops?
EDIT: Have bled the other vertical radiator again which, going by the pitch of the noise as I bled it, does still have air in it, even though there was a constant flow of water. This has reduced the noise coming from the first vertical rad. I think this is going to be an iterative process...
maybe the design means that it takes a little longer for air to rise to the top. Normally you would stop bleeding when there's water coming out, set the system pressure to 1.2bar and leave it.
Have you bled from the top of the house down to this radiator?
