FTC is more a tax from manufacturers than anything else really.

Like, I've seen many monitors from various brand all stamped FTC emitting enough interference to generate audible noise on FTC stamped speakers. Isn't that the only thing they have a strong mandate and certification process for?

I think you're thinking of the FCC, not the FTC.

Also, the FCC doesn't care about if your speakers make noise when they get hit with RF, they only really care that the speakers aren't emitting RF to interfere with the things that are supposed to be.
