I have a TG-16 with about half of the shielding intact, and I ran it for some time without the shielding at all. I didn't notice any extra noise or anything like that.

That said, I wonder if lining the inside of a shell with foil tape would have the same effect as the original shielding. It would let you make use of the extra room afforded by removing the shielding.

You wouldn't hear RF noise. RF noise is putting off interference in the radio Frequencies, so unless you are superman or something you wouldn't hear it. Other electronics / radios may malfunction if near the consoles without shielding.

Doh, I know that.
I never said hear, I said notice as in: No distorted of fuzzy image on TV or such.
:P

Unshielded Audio\video cables near the device work as antennas, so you could hear it in another device depending on the noise it puts out and the cable. My C-64 used to make our VCR hum.
