A filter like that will have very little attenuation in the audio spectrum.
I agree however that indiscriminately throwing ferrites at problems can be a good solution!
- Gracana 10mo agoMaybe 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.

- mrob 10mo agoEven 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.

- vlachen 10mo agoIn 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?
