They can get worn out. But it's really hard to judge until they actually break from being too tight. If they are loose, it will be obvious. Akropovic uses a rubber sleeve on their springs to prevent the rattling sound. Some guys I know put a wrap of heat tape around the spring if it rattles and/or hits the pipe.

I safety wire mine on the Tsukigi pipe (ZRX), as they keep abandoning ship.
The safety wire seems to have stopped the noise.
The Akro on the Ninja is quiet...
