Your computer speakers shouldn't be picking up anything from the new T3200m unless they're wireless and operate on the 2.4GHz band. Same goes for the cordless phone. Interference on cordless phones is a very old issue which started when cordless phones moved from 900MHz to 2.4GHz many years ago. Since then a lot has been done to ensure they can work together. How close is the phone base to the T3200? If you follow the advice from the first link you posted, have you tried moving the cordless phone? Also since each device can run on a number of different channels on 2.4GHz, that should be simple to fix by changing channels on one or both. If your cordless phone is not a 2.4GHz model, then you will likely have something else interfering. My cordless phone base is about 6 feet from my T3200 and I have zero interference.
Log in to the T3200 and under wireless settings change the 2.4 and 5 GHz channels. Normally the T3200 will choose a channel for each that has the least amount of interference on it from other devices. A reboot of the T3200 is another way to get it to choose a new channel without logging in. Many newer cordless phones are actually 6GHz so they will be well outside the range the T3200 can operate in. 5GHz wifi covers a range from just below 5.2GHz to just over 5.8. My T3200 is operating on band 52 (5.26GHz). You can see which one yours is using under Status > Wireless Status. (5GHz Band list)

yes i agree, the new modem is a lot stronger then my old modem, telus told me that when install, as i never had a problem with feedback before, funny part is even my computer speaker is picking up the feedback, same sound
i move the phone away by 2 ft and sound seem to disappear for most part on cordless phone, i even move my speaker, but sound is still they
i cut cardborad and cover it with aluminum foil and that help with feedback.. i put it be ween the modem and phone
if i move it out, i can heard the sound, put it back it more or less gone, so moving it and the foil seem to help
i found a couple site that confirm that wi fi modem can bug cordless phone
