Couple twists in each strap will fix that.

How does that work if you could explain?

Wind causes a straight ratchet strap to vibrate, almost like a reed in certain types of wind instruments. You'll notice the same thing if you strap something to the roof of your car or in the bed of a pickup and drive it in the highway. It makes for a very noisy ride.

Giving the strap a twist or two, wherever it's not contacting something, will stop it from vibrating and it will be much quieter.
