Motors with brushes are "incidental radiators" according to the FCC. I
believe PWM or variable frequency drive motors would be considered
"unintentional radiators" in that they intentionally generate a radio
frequency (9 kHz to 3,000,000MHz) but do not intend to radiate it. (see
definitions at
http://www.hallikainen.com/FccRules/2007/15/3/).

And Part 15 limits the emissions from Unintentional Radiators, but the
limits are so high as to be of almost no protection to
radiocommunications within a hundred of metres or more of the emission
source.
