SOUNDPROOFING!!!, cuz we all know 6G rattle like cans Options

[shid]

After dynomatting the entire trunk with double layers of dynomat (don't worry, got it at a steep discount) the only thing that still rattles is some metal inside the ****ing back fender.

*kill*

the only thing that rattles in my car (i did a bunch of soundproofing with rubber-foam) is the liftback shock (the piece where the licence plate goes), and actually under the trunk, as in outside the car.  And i can't find it.  Probably a mount for the gas tank or something.  Next time you guys have your subs going, get under the rear of your car and see if you have the same problem

I had the whole damn thing apart just to screw things down, and the bumper off, i still couldn't find it. I did find however, a lot of the outside rattleing is coming from one of my licence plate lights. There are two, and the right one is being held in place, but the left one, i can move with my fingers (like the bracket holding the light), and when i push on it, almost 90% of rattling from my car goes away.

I used to get a really ugly rattling sound from the metal handle on the wooden spare tyre cover so maybe you should check that out!

I would of never picked that as being the source of the rattle (as it seemed reasonably fixed down) but upon removal the rattling stop!

my rattle was coming from my rear plate.. other then that nothing..

yeah i put a piece of cardboard under the left light as mine was also loose and i only found out that wasnt it. and i don't think its the spare tire cover because my box is bolted down to it and i can put my ear right up to it on the outside and hear it but never find it. when the hatch is open it all dissapears.

bump! for the name of the home depot material.

[creis]

no no no, I just a few days ago solved all my rattle problems, I have a Eclipse 12" titanium sub taking in 800 rms that was bairly hearable over the sound of plastic parts vibrating around. what I did was buy 100 sq ft of "fatmat" off ebay and did the whole trunk and up in the hatch (actualy most the vibrations is the trim aorrounding the back window) but anyway I used about 1/4 of it to do the whole trunk and now the vibrations are gone, just down to the little bit in the doors and under the dash witch will soon be covered as well. Fatmat is in my opinion the best stuff out there, its a great price for how much you get and easy to install, works like putting on duck tape. took me about 2 hours from start to finish, including stripping the trunk plastics out and my sub and spare tire crap, then covering it up so that no visible green was in the trunk sept some parts on the side. and re-assembling the trunk. I'll take some pics of it all if you guys want but its all you need to fix the rattle can issue that our cars have, also it helps gets rid of road noice too.

Ebay Items

I bought from "fatmat-sound-killer"

I have never had this problem, but wanted to do something to make my trunk/boot look rockin’ . . . and sound proof!

here's how:

-I went to homedepot and got some carpet padding, and carpet….then took the rug out and traced it on a piece of maysinite (sp?).
-then cut the wood-
-then sprayed adhesive on the back of the board, and stuck the carpet padding on.
-then stapled the carpet over the padding (all of this is on the bottom)
-then i custom cut several blocks of wood, and caulk (regular bathroom cluck)(sounds scary, but i did not want to use liquid nails or anything like that because if in the if future i wanted to remove it...well you know...)

also the blocks of wood were cut so when the seat were down, the whole back would be level!


HOPE THE HELPS YOU OUT!

[95CelicaST]

lets see, where am I rattling... My door panels (mainly because I converted manual to power windows) Behind the CD player, my passenger-side seatbelt dispencer thing rattles if no one is in the seat, hatch plastic rattles.

But the good news is there is a free way to fix this...



Turn the music up.

[fight_club]

Man I dont know what you guys are talking about rattle? My last car was a Ford Thunderbird. Man those speakers are complete crap. Drive around in one of those then tell me about rattle.

[95CelicaST]

My parents own a thunderbird. It doesn't rattle at all. Its a boat though.

[Tech9ine]

someone should make a how to on this if there isn't already one. I get a little rattling from my door panels when i crank it up real loud.

thats kind of funny, My last car was a thunderbird too, what a piece that was.

I should be working on my doors over winter break. I plan on sound dampening the doors, getting rid of the rattles in the door panel, along with flush mounting the tweeter and finding a new spot for the crossover. Ill post pics when it's finished up.

Rockford Fosgate makes a product called Dead Skin. It's available in a mat or liquid form (bottle and aerosol can).

THIS STUFF looks like it works well but it sure ain't cheap that's for damn sure.

Fatmat is supposed to really good also. They too have a liquid product.

[Tech9ine]

someone on this site showed me this link, cant remember who, but it was the most informative read on sound dampening i've come across, anyone wanting to get rid of some rattleing should read this: http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/

that quiet car stuff sounds like it would work well as its made of some good materials, but thats assuming they dont overstate the specs on it. If you want to get rid of rattleing you need to add mass.
