Yup, that's what I meant.  Most of the stuff I make goes onto 
machines and they vibrate.  So I suspected that if the machine is 
vibrating, that could cause this wire to vibrate which in turn would 
create "noise" of some sort.

The only reason I suspected this is because of a bad experience I 
had many years back with radio controlled air planes.  I had a plane 
that would make spazy moves every once in a while.  It was a pain to 
fly (well, a challenge).  Anyway, after a long time of fighting the 
problem it turned out to be the throttle wire.  It would rub against 
the motor when the plane was in a certain attitude and this would 
cause the servos to jump wildly.  I recall the guys on the flying 
field telling me that it was "electrical noise" cause by that metal 
wire rubbing against the metal motor.  I added a small shield 
between the two and the problems went away.  So, I took that 
experience and applied it to that little trace wire fix and expected 
similar problems.
