Trying to understand what is the source of noise in certain fabric.
I am finished making a DIY pillow using Ion fabric and Climashield and whenever something is brushed on the pillow, it makes some noise - which a traditional cotton pillow would not do.
What is the source of this?
Are there UL materials noisier than others?

PS: I also realized that Climashield is not the right construction: I'll have to put a lot of it, for the pillow not to collapse under the weight of my head. So much, that in the end it is bulky and not that compressible ad light (makes sense) for UL backpacking.
I guess the best engineering solution is to insert an air-field Neo Air pillow in a sleeve on the back of a pillow filled with down or climashield. Insulation (CS or down) on its own is not sufficient, unless stuffed tightly and therefore not lightweight, at least for pillows make for sleeping on the ground. In a hammock, these are probably good enough.
