I would be willing to bet there is something wrong on your stand, like the connection between the batwing and post making the noise, or a nylon washer not put on right.... None of my stands, or my friends stands do that.
You would think but I watched the post as I cam locked it and I could see the whole post flexing/bending. I just use two straps now, no noise since then.
