It's been proven by several teams already, eg:

  In new research accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics Letters, we discovered Starlink satellites are also “leaking” radio signals that interfere with radio astronomy. Even in a “radio quiet zone” in outback Western Australia, we found the satellite emissions were far brighter than any natural source in the sky.

It's an ongoing issue in that Starlink v1.0 leaked and as I recall promises were made that the next generation of satellites would leak less and turn off when over radio quiet zones .. that second gen group have (IIRC) more noise and continuing transmitting over RQZ's.
