Default Yakima rack noise

I had a great laugh at myself after posting my message. The original thread
was started three years ago. I must have been saving the message until I
needed the information. lol

My thought, instead of wire tie wraps (which, I think, would have to be
cut off and replaced if I need a flat rack surface), is to use nylon straps...

Then a banged a bar while carrying it & realized that it's ring was the
same pitch as the howl. It was a bell & that was it's resonant frequency.
So I filled the bars with sand. They are heavy, but the noise is gone.


Wow... now that is what I'd call observant! :-) I wonder if foam insulation
(which is sprayed and expands on use) would work? Is the purpose of the
sand simply to fill the hollow part of the bar?
