Wireless energy transfer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer is acheived using electromagnetic resonant induction. The resonance of live sound is acoustic resonance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_resonance Since these two forms of resonance use different mechanisms (electromagnetic waves vs sound waves in air) they do not cross couple, hence there is zero chance for interference between them. The possibility of interference in electrical/computer audio equipment (which use electromagnetics) and the wireless electricity transfer (which also uses electomagnetic waves) deserves far more concern.
