I don't doubt a failing frameset is going to make noise, regardless of construction. But they don't normally make any noise.

so … be careful (unlike me who left a bike on the patio last week in the sunshine and a sudden squall knocked it over, drive side down.
)

Yeah. He has one of those "tough aluminum one piece hangers" that has neither soft metal nor small hardware to get damaged. I was explaining why it is said to be important to have spares for replaceables.
Replaceable hangers are fragile, so have a spare.
Non-replaceable hangers aren't fragile, so maybe it isn't a terrible thing that you can't replace them.

As above, replaceable hangers are fragile and made to fail to protect the frame and rear derailleur. That one appears very robust and IMO would require a major crash to damage.
