I tend to strap stuff down pretty well, rather than leaving it to bounce around up there !! I've got a big cargo net, that is very heavy duty webbing, with cam-lock straps, rather than elastic etc.

I've not driven it enough at speed to come to any conclusion, I've done a lot of other minor changes to cut down noise too. Things like remounting the fire extinguisher etc.

The front cross bar on mine vibrates like crazy - the square one. Bolting a wind deflector onto that helps a lot.

Been looking but I've thrown so much money away on things that 'should have fitted ok', I have to be a little careful and VERY sure of myself. . lol.

Something will come up I suppose.
