It depends what cables you are considering.

Cables that are often suspended can be;

Voltage distribution cables for electrical power. These emit a humming sound and are usually very high voltages (in the Kilovolts) and hung from huge metal towers suspended under ceramic isolators.

Telephone wires. These are low voltage (Around 70v depending on where you are in the world) and are usually hung from wooden poles and connect to houses and offices.
