A few weeks after I got my '87 900T, it started making that loud clacking from the solenoid. I took it to a Saab dealership in MD, and the service manager (who obviously didn't want to fix anything under warranty) told me "they all do that. It's normal."
I drove it like that a year or so, then moved to California. I went into a Saab dealership near Monterey for something unrelated. A mech came out while my car was idling, and said, "you probably have a bad pressure transducer." I ordered the part, replaced it myself, and not only did it stop the clacking, but my car boosted to the end of the yellow as it hadn't done before.
If your APC solenoid clacks at idle and the clacking stops when you put your foot on the brake, then I would suspect the pressure transducer. Replace it and see if your problem goes away. The problem has not returned on my car for over 13 years.
