"Are we still talking about audio frequencies?"
Well... both RF and audio actually. Especially if the cable is sort of stiff.
The RF end of things is just electrical reflections and resonances from the TEM wave hitting a non-conjugate match, often at both ends. The audio one is mechanical and I really don't know if the mode is longitudinal, transverse or even both. But it can have a suprisingly high-Q. It can also generate electrical problems by exciting triboelectric effects in the insulation.
Rather than more words, when I get back to town I'll see about actually repeating the experiment I did years ago and post the data. It's sort-of hard to believe until you hear it with your own ears and see it (on a scope) with your own eyes.
Best, Rick
