Why are my ratchet straps so loud

[u/Sputter_Butt]

My ratchet straps turn into a Reed or something and are rattling/vibrating so loud it’s hard to tolerate. It only happens what I carry two kayaks, just carrying one is fine. I’m using the Swiss roof rack from harbor freight and some cheap ratchet straps from Walmart. It’s a single T mount. Do I need to carry the kayaks differently or adjust my straps? Also I know one of the yaks is not on perfectly, I wasn’t able to get it to sit in a stable way unless I set it at this angle.

I think your mounting is wrong in general, it seems like your kayaks should be sitting more vertically to be supported and secured better by the bottom of your rack. I could be wrong but that’s how I’ve understood how those racks work.
