The purpose if a pipe clamp is to hold it in place. Pipe clamps are typically fastened onto something that is stationary to fulfill its purpose. An example would be a wall for pipe associated with guttering.

This "knocking" sound probably means the pipe is hitting against something (like a wall). Possibly a clamp that holds tight the pipe is loose and the pressure is moving the pipe against something.

Prevent Pipe Clamp Stains?

Pipe clamps are a handy tool, but can often cause staining and marking. Sometimes glue will stick to the metal bar of a pipe clamp and stain the wood or cause the clamp itself to work improperly. This issue is easily prevented by cutting wax paper into two inch strips. Cover the bar by laying the wax strips over it. Wrap the strips around the bar if extra protection is needed. Be sure to place the wax paper at the points where the glue may drip or where the wood touches the pipe.
