Get a ferrite ring for your cable, solves more of these issues than you'd imagine.

Or a clip on, something like this : https://www.cablechick.com.au/cables/ferrite-core-rfi-and-em...

Those are ferrite cores? I thought it was covered solder joint or something.

Nope, clipped or glued ferrite, you used to also get them on power cables for certain devices
