What the hell is wrong!
My good man i am afraid it does in fact matter. Easiest thing would be to just get a 3/32 chain. The wear issues that people are mentioning could be a factor as well as an unevenly worn drive-train (like one with a new chain and super worn components) can cause a good amount of noise.

For reference I tend to change my chain every three to five months depending. I have access to a chain checker which makes life easy, but yeah I'm a little anal about my chain.
