Cable INteracion Question

I am trying a new set of cables, and when I insert them between the preamp and amp, I hear a ton of noise (sounds like the capacitors charging) in the amp at power up. When I revert back to my old cables I hear no such noise. What could be causing the "noise" in the new cables??

I did an experiment this am. I reversed the directionality of the cables between the amp and preamp. Now instead of just doing it at power up, it does it every 30 seconds in a pulsating manner. It sort of sounds like an electric razor that gets gradually louder then just cuts off. It then repeats 30 seconds later. When I put the sonorans back in the system, there are no issues at all.
