Even if there's very little audio-frequency attenuation, it's possible for higher frequencies to produce audio-frequency intermodulation distortion, and filtering could reduce this. This is one reason "high definition" (ultrasound sampling rate) audio is a bad idea as a listening format.

In 2013 I bought out 2 Radio Shacks worth of ferrite beads when I was hunting down signal noise in my senior design project (CNC mill rebuild and update.) All else fails, add more beads.

Also, I learned that you can make your own shielded flat cables with aluminum duct tape.

Who knew that they had a really good reason for using 48V signaling in the original machine controls from 1986?

This reminds me of my favorite "Downfall" meme video.

Ferrites - almost never doing any harm, sometimes doing good. :-)

Maybe you’re right. My experience is with radios, where it’s possible that high frequency noise is conducted into the RF section rather than into the audio amplifier. I know that in one case, both my transmitted signal and received audio output were absolute garbage (edit: because it was picking up noise from the vehicle ignition) until I added a choke to the power input wiring.
