Just to update if anyone is interested, I hadn’t noticed the CV boot noise for quite some time until today, once again after heavy rain. The water must, somehow, increase the noise.

Ive also noticed this more in the rain

Rain should be doing the opposite ie making it quieter as it lubricates the boot. 🤷‍♂️

The water must be causing the rubber to stick rather than lubricating, i’ve only noticed it after heavy rain/flooding!

They are made from a different material so maybe they do get noisier when wet.
