There should be 2 sorbo rubber strips along the canvas just above the door frame. there is a screw at the front of the frame above each corner of the window. the screw holds a wire that runs through a canvas sleeve along the top of the window above the 2 strips of sorbo rubber. the wire terminates at a dog leg at the rear of the window on the top frame. As the frame is tensioned down when you twist the locks at the front then the dog leg pops backwards and tensions the wire which pulls the canvas down and sandwiches the soft sorbo rubber strips between the canvas and the top of the window frame.

No it wont stop all noise but yes it should be pretty quiet. if yours is flapping around I would guess you have lost the wires or a previous owner has pulled off the soft rubber strips not knowing what they are for.

hope that helps
