Noise cancelling headphones can negate it but it could damage a phone? This seems more like the place for people to gather and say "I don't like motorcycles because loud." Which is fine, but let's not really say it's related to the post.

You have a reading comprehension problem. The one situation is where a phone is in very close proximity or even mounted on the bike, the other where there is multiple 10's of meters between my seat the motorcycle, as well as me being inside a house.

It's more that it is hard to pick out your main article-related point from the bulk of the comment, which is just a complaint against a neighbor. I'm not against your frustration or in favor of your neighbor.

So it sounds like you're saying that if your neighbor's bike can shake your walls at that distance, then the same sound could/would damage the phone at a smaller distance? I'm not confident either way on that, other than believing that resonance probably plays a large part when it comes to the acoustic vibrations. Apple also did not say that the phones would be damaged just by being near the bike, so they may not be affected by it (or Apple is omitting that part, which wouldn't surprise me)
