RE: DIY cable - scratchy

With that construction I would think they would be pretty good at noise rejection. As a test you might try wrapping them in Aluminum foil to see if the problem goes away. The foil creates it's own problems so I wouldn't recommend leaving it.
Another thing to try is a bare wire (a thin gage will work fine) woven into your cable, tied ....AT ONE END ONLY... to earth ground. The screw holding the faceplate to the wall outlet should be grounded so use a crimp lug to get under it.
