Well, you mean the 'apron' as it is called in English. An article on the apron by Mike Bishop can be found here http://www.scribd.com/doc/20524593/The-e...rial-apron
I'm in the impression it originated from a split up of the end on your belt, where the middle on will go through the buckle. This became fashion and stayed as such for about 100 years or so.
On the sound I would say that can also be on purpose, as it can scary your opponent even before you show your martial skills
As them being to heavy, that's probably mostly because you own a modern replica, (maybe even from India) which is too thick and thus too heavy.
