Default Cable noise?

Is there a "trick" to avoid cable noise? I'm trying some Image IEMs and one issue I can't pinpoint is why I will get line noise from time to time. I'm not sure if that's the correct term but it's when I move my head and the cable rubs against my collar or something and appears to transfer a scrapping or rubbing noise to my ears. I think I have a good seal but maybe I need to try different inserts? Or maybe this is normal?
