   I suggest you invest in a good pair of diagonal wire cutters. Apply them
   to the speaker leads of the stereo next time this occures.

A much more elegant and nondestructive fix would be to nuke your old acoustic
modem, step into the 80s, and buy one that has a direct connection which
is immune to ambient sound.  Or hack a matching transformer into your
old modem, if a replacement is hard to come by.  Acoustic couplers simply
*lose*.  Whoever turned up the stereo probably didn't have the foggiest
idea this could happen...
