It wasn't. 

The OP asked about an optimum twist for minimum noise. I have never seen any

specification.

The only specifications I know of which MAY be related was contained in 
information I had 
some years ago regarding CAT-5 cable.

Possibly that is contained in the link you provided.

Thus my statement.
