OP, this sounds exactly like an alignment and placing issue of the FD. SO long as you don't have a riveted/etc. FD braze, you should be able to get the FD to the place it needs to be to do what it needs to without noise.
Thanks, is that a Shimano FD? I'll check it out.

I'll check the set up again. But I have spent considerable time on this when chainging the chainrings. I even downloaded the dealer's manual for the derailleur and have tried to make sure that alignement, clearance, tension, etc is all right. However, since the opinion sems to be that a more suitable derailleur does not exist, then I will persevere.
