Can I run speaker wire alongside power wires inside the wall?

Running speaker wire in close proximity to power wires (that serve fans, lighting, etc.) should be avoided. It will almost certainly cause electrical noise to be picked up and transmitted to the speakers. It is usually not a problem if speaker wires cross power wires, but they should never run parallel to them.
