But what is VERY weird on this machine is that you can HEAR the IEC bus. It only happens on disk transfers. I really want to figure out why this happens.

Let’s figure out where the noise is coming from. On the C16 and any other 264 series machine the TED chip does audio, video and I/O. Pin 33 on the chip is the sound output it seems. During a directory listing this stays flat on the scope. When I run a game we can see the waveform. So this rules out the TED chip I would say.

@root42 3Vpp doesn't look like it's induced by accident, and 50% duty cycle looks like a clock signal 🤔
@lasse now that you mention it: looks indeed suspicious. The audio waveform should look a bit different.
