Tried doing that, and it didn't help. It turns out that the C-clip was
vibrating, causing the noise; I should probably have figured that out sooner.
Putting some grease in the groove that the clip fits into solved the problem. I
guess using a hot-melt glue gun would do the job too. (Maybe this info will be
of use to someone in future?)
