Probably a silly question as I'm new to biking. I got a bike shop to install a £45 rear rack on my Boardman. It feels secure but makes constant noise unless the road is perfectly smooth. Going in gravel makes it sound like an old shopping cart.
Is this just how racks are when they don't have any bags weighing it down? Here is a reference of how the shop installed the rack.
I assumed it was the extended arms but holding onto them firmly with my hand and bouncing the rear wheel, doesn't stop the noise.

It should be completely silent. Just snug down all the bolts and that should fix it.
