Just tighten until you hear a little crick, and then back it off a quarter turn.
It's the little things that restore my faith in this place.
Could also be an ungreased bolt against aluminum in your stem making the noise.
But that's half the fun! Who knows! Good luck.
Take the handlebar off and look at it really closely regardless.

Torque wrench.
Made of carbon
Pre-torqued of course. With carbon sockets. And a warranty. In a carbon box.
We apply carbon fiber paste to our bikes and customer's bikes that use carbon parts on their bikes when they are in the shop having wk done or having new carbon parts added, like h.bars, stems, seatposts. We have good results with it as well. Ritchey also has a small preset pocket sized torque wrench so you cant over torque the bolts. Fairly inexpensive as well.
Carbon fiber paste. http://www.finishlineusa.com/products/fiber_grip.htm and http://www.tacx.com/en/producten/fietsgereedschappen/Carbon_pasta/index.dot We use both depending if one is out of stock from the distributor.
Ritchey Torque Key. http://www.ritcheylogic.com/dyn_prod.php?p=05-252-100 (Should be pretty close to what most carbon bars spec for torque ratings on bars and seat posts.) Check with your carbon parts mfg for the torque specs on your particular bars if ya want to be sure before getting the key.
Anyway, just some info from shop experience. Hope it helps a bit.
Have a great time riding this summer!

Does a bear **** in the woods?
we use these and sell them to customers with anything carbon. Ritchey and Giant both make them in different Nm settings, from 3-6Nm.Ritchey Torque Key. http://www.ritcheylogic.com/dyn_prod.php?p=05-252-100 (Should be pretty close to what most carbon bars spec for torque ratings on bars and seat posts.)
