The top clip that keeps them shut is very solid and it actually takes a bit of squeezing to get it shut, so it's nice and tight there.
I was going to say the same thing.
When closed, mine don't rattle much more than anything else on the bike. I did a custom rack though, with big hooks they hang on instead of the little screw-held P-straps.
When they're open, how much they rattle depends on how much weight is in them. With
nothing in them, they'd rattle a lot....
