first check that the problem isnt just the solenoid resting on the guard. If it is, then does suspending it away from the guard fix the noise when its all put back together?

If noise is still very noticable, then the solenoid is buggered and wrapping it up with wool from a golden sheep wont tame the sound. Get a new one.

I remember when i got the new one, i found it like to rest against the plastic guard which amplified the normal quiet tick they do, so i undid a couple screws at the bottom where the plastic guard meets the bar and jammed a sponge in between the solenoid and plastic guard

I did this because you cant really position the solenoid away from the guard as its all in a fixed position. Ford engineering at its best
