Exactly. That's kind of like saying if you don't like the noise the neighbor's party makes in the middle of the night then where earplugs. Sometimes you just have to cure the source of the noise and not just band aid it. Bonding and grounding works in some cases however in most cases it can be a LOT harder to do it properly than to simply install a single capacitor. I had fuel pump noise in a car at one time. Yeah it was a Ford. I bonded the doors. I bonded the hood. I bonded the trunk. Nothing cured the problem. I then pulled the back seat to get at the fuel pump wires and soldered a 0.01 uF capacitor across the leads and the problem went away.I should have spent that half hour days before.
