I invented a little trick that works wonders... I found some thin-wall polyethylene tubing that is meant for sprinkler systems... it's really cheap.
You cut lengths (maybe 4" to 8" or so) and slit them, then you can easily slip them over the PEX and center them at the points where the PEX goes through the framing.
No more expansion noise.
You can thank me later...
