  We consider universal shot noise in ballistic chaotic cavities from a
semiclassical point of view and show that it is due to action correlations
within certain groups of classical trajectories. Using quantum graphs as a
model system we sum these trajectories analytically and find agreement with
random-matrix theory. Unlike all action correlations which have been considered
before, the correlations relevant for shot noise involve four trajectories and
do not depend on the presence of any symmetry.
