Does using the radio alert enemies to my presence? - Woman using smartphone and taking notes in notebook

Whenever I wander the Wasteland, I enjoy sneaking around with my weapon in-hand and my pip-boy radio on. I was curious though, does using radio alert enemies to my presence? I assume the pip-boy blasts the radio through its speakers at full volume.

Right now, my sneaking ability is pretty terrible, so the slightest movement lets all enemies within a 20 mile radius know of my whereabouts. That being said, I cannot determine whether or not the radio plays a factor.
