Keep an eye on it; the noise will return once everything dries out. The rainwater provided a temporary "lubrication" of sorts which has quieted the noise. I hesitate to use the term "lubrication" because water isn't a good lubricant at all, but in this case it has quieted the noise if nothing else.
