: I cover my bars with foam pipe insulation (duct taped on the bars). The
: insulation cushions the yaks , hepls to keep the wet yaks from sliding off
: when loading.

My Thule's were howling like crazy when I put them on. After I put the kayak rack I made on them, I covered the rest of the pipes with foam. The foam virtually eliminated the noise. I don't even notice the noise at all now.
