I can personally attest that there is an extreme version of this effect: do not use hard disk in PA/DJ situations... I crashed several of my early disks due reading MP3 data proximal to a certain pair of 18" push-pull PA subwoofers...

Sounds like the "engineers are retarded" anecdote [1] where on some Apple computers the speaker was located too close to the hard drive, resulting in a crash if you played something too loudly.
