It's possible the noise is resonance and can be trimmed/tuned by adjusting the tension on the mountings.
We used the type of bars you mention for years on the BX and Xantia but found Berlingos too tall to safely load/unload. Could carry up to four bikes with directions alternating to minimise handlebar conflicts. Still some saddle/bar issues but minimised by order of loading and selective lowering of one saddle.
