When a cable is moved and its noise is heard this means an electrical
current is being mechanically created between the insulator and the
shield. It's a piezo-electric effect. More expensive cables place a
textile shield surrounding the inner conductor and inside the outer
shield braid. This prevents mechanical currents from being amplified.
