"I suspect the Belt Rainbow foil acts like a constrained layer dampening device which helps dissipate the RF energy. The construction is a sandwich of plastic and aluminum foil. The foil itself is laser etched to extremely fine etchings, typically at the wavelengths of like ( in order that it have the proper effects on light), thus we have, in effect tiny antennas, and when trimmed to the small widths recommended it effectively can become RFI absorbers."
Interesting theory; unfortunately, your theory cannot account for why the sound improves when applying a rainbow foil to an interior page of a book, say page 150. Or applying a rainbow foil to an unused battery hidden away in a drawer, or to the back of a wall mirror in another room. Sometimes the more obvious explanations don't hold up and one must look deeper.
