Double check your wiring. Use insulating tape and cable ties to keep things tidy, and check the indicator relay. This is a small black box, about the same cubed area as a match box. This has a cover on it, which you can usually remove and check the relay contacts. If in doubt, have a garage look at it.

what is the weird noise ?
If its fast clicking it will be a loose connection or maybe a blown bulb.

The relay has to be the right wattage for the bulbs.......now, I reckon you are probably fitting the LED type indicators?

If so that'll be the cause as they are very low wattage, so they don't put the right load on the relay, .......they don't tell you about these things when they sell you the indcators do they?

When i changed the indicators to micro arrows on my nsr, I had to change the relay box because the power rating (watts) were wrong. My indicators flashed really fast, thats why i changed it.

ok wait dont listen to any of them, if your relay is not sealed there is a simple fix, all you have to do is bend the armature a little, and it will work, i know it works because its been done on 3 bikes and they have all worked and still do.
