Thanks, everyone, for the great suggestions. Now to pick one of these solutions... I do like the green Rescue tape. Cal, I think you're referring to speed shimmy, something I haven't really experienced. Lots written on this topic, such as this classic: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/shimmy.html Lots more in discussion group archives. All I can say is is play around with the loads you're carrying (by shifting some weight to the back or front). Good luck!

Oliver: I have the Sackville Shopsack in the Wald. I really like it and I don't have the rattle issue. I did get a wobble in the front tire when I reach 27.2 miles per hour. Do you ever get a wobble in your front tire? Cal M.

[RBW] Re: quieting the Shopsack
You could also get some heat shrink tubing and put that on the hooks. But I feel like that might be needlessly labor intensive. Just might look a little nicer than some other options.
