Noisy gutters in the sun

Now my plastic gutters have been up for some years, and I had them done by a
professional. OK they tend to crackle a little bit in the sun, but just
recently the crackling is more like loud cracks at variable intervals and if
I'm attempting to catch up on sleep during the day its very um awakening. Is
there anything I can do to quieten them?

Angle grinders would keep Brian awake even more than creaking gutters,
I'd suggest. :-)
You need either to stop them sliding one against another - e.g. (as TNP
suggests, glue them) - or allow sliding to occur without creaking. Maybe
disassemble and put some silicone grease on them?
Other possibility is that the temperature difference is greater simply
because they are covered in black muck - which abosrbs heat better. So
simply thoroughly cleaning them might help?

Oil them. The clips onto the soffit should allow the thermal expansion
of the gutters . Do not glue them to the gutter as the gutter will
want to expand, it can't if glued, so the gutter will buckle .
Lubricate the clip/gutter interface. The recent increase in volume
could be caused by the sun heating the gutter more (is it black because
it needs cleaning)or due to any previous lubrication becoming worn out
over time. Oil is being a bit flippant perhaps silicone or similar.

I think gluing them would make them buckle, rather than slide. I would
start simple, and try dribbling a little 3-in-1 or similar inside the
gutter, at the joints. With a little luck, the oil will find a way into
the joints, and stop the noise.

bracket along the mid-point of its length? Our gutters are made from 16'
sections, and the total expansion is probably a good inch or so - but
then when it cools and they contract again, they don't necessarily end up
back at their starting point (and so have an occasional tendency to creep
or start leaking at one of the joints).

neoprene, that is supposedly resistant to mineral oil. And PVC is pretty
resistant too. Found this relating to one PVC sheet product:
http://www.perspex.co.uk/documents/technical/chemical-resistance/PVC.pdf
So I ended up being perhaps more questioning over its effectiveness
(will it really get to the right places?) and the possibility of
splattering oil over whatever is underneath the guttering.

Yes, I was expecting ear plugs first, but this the second. I did think that
maybe a good clean and some kind of wax polish, but how ould one get it
under the brackets or in the joins, if indeed this is where the noise is
coming from. It has to be movement and I suspect its because plastic is so
lightweight against the old cast iron used before..
