Default Tonneau Question

First off I know nothing about |Tonneau covers, I have trucks all my life but never put one on.
Anyway I thought I would try one (mainly used for travelling with the TT) and I wanted something I could take off quickly and by myself. The trifold type soft covers seemed to fit the bill, light weight easy off and nothing left on the truck.
I installed one yesterday and took it for a highway drive and I could hear the cover, a drum like sound from the vinyl vibrating. Today it was very windy (40 -50 mph) and the cover was loud when driving parallel to the wind.
Do all the soft covers do this?
The cover is very tight maybe that's part of the problem?
Thanks

I have the LoPro and have never noticed a sound. The key for me was water tight and after driving in some really hard rains it never leaked a drop. Starting on four years of use.

I just talked to the Tonneau manufacturing rep. and they think I had the cover too far forward and air was getting under the cover. She said it was common problem with the Ford's and the new Rams. I will adjust it see if it fixes the problem. If not back it goes.
