I've experienced noise from old phones on cheap computer speakers, alarm clock radios, and installed sound systems in churches. It's annoying, but if the interference is in the audible frequency range, I doubt it's harmful.

How do you know there isn't interference in the inaudible frequency range? Because you can't hear it?

It's an inference from the fact that the phones pass FCC regulations. Maybe that's an invalid inference.
