For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I wonder what the vibration frequency of those straps is, once the wind is blowing through them.
Will they vibrate the roof into mush before they pull out of the ground and become metal ended whips?
As someone who straps, I felt this in my soul. God I hate that noise(I use tarp clamps for dampeners).
I've used a twist in the strap and that seems to help a lot.
Gotta be careful though, twist in the strap can ruin the strength limit of the strap if it's under load
Edit: others have pointed out it's for cargo straps specifically. I guess I was thinking of more knotting than twists. Either way, just follow the instructions.
Interesting. I was under the impression that the vibrations could be a problem if not twisted
apparently it's a hotly debated topic, who knew! https://dccargo.com/blogs/strap-chat/to-twist-or-not-to-twist-cargo-straps
Someone tested this and found it to be basically not true. https://youtu.be/ifyJjQXOttE
This is how I was trained, yeah. No twists!!
Apparently this is a bit of a myth https://youtu.be/ifyJjQXOttE
