Isolating motor feedback from Arduino?? (speaker)

powered up/booted.. Im at a constant 61.4 (DCA setting on meter is @ 200m)

(this is without any audio playing...or the motor being jogged/pulsed)

playing a simple audio track (without motor) shows me at around 74 range (tops)

motor with audio shows me at around: (no more than 185 ever).. thats with constant interaction: audio and motor spinning/jogging/pulsing..

Those look perfectly reasonable figures to me.

Personally I would get two very small value capacitors - say 10 to 100nF - and connect them to the motor. Connect one from the motor + terminal to the body of the motor, and the other from the motor - terminal to the body of the motor.
