any word on the name of that home depot product yet? and btw how would you install it?
i used peel and seal I thing fire and ice is the same but call around (ie roofing)
when i worked at one of the stero shops over here (aspen sound) i bought 2 bulk packs 36 sqft each 72 total for $80 and did most of my car but it adds alot of weight

did my doors, both rear quater panels, hatch full truck under the rear seat, thats it so far

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
There is a thing called fatmat, its the same thing as dynomat but the price is 130$ for 100sq. ft. Which is a pretty good deal.

What type of rattling are you guys talkin about?

Cuz with me... I have a rattling up behind the dash, My side pannel door rattles when I idle... and the trunk really rattles when the subwoofers are going.

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

Wow am I the only person here without any major ratteling???
I had some rattleing after I swaped out the front speakers (so I got some dynamat and that did the job). The only thing thats bothering me right now is the damn hatch cover, and that thing rattles only when my amp gain is at 12bd's

<<AKA THA RUSSIAN>>
That's funny... I barely have any rattling at all...

my car rattles. Somethin behind my dash insert rattles, somethin under my steering wheel, my door panel, and when i accelerate in first, something in the back vibrates a lot. Theres a couple more things, but u get the picture.

It's not just about getting from point A to point B anymore....
If somebody does this, can you make a picture by picture how to? That would be the thing to inspire me not to go pay somebody to do it

the only thing that rattles in my car is a screw that the idiot at bestbuy dropped into the vent when he installed my cd player, otherwise its all good.

maybe some of you guys should start checking how well your interior is put together IE tighten things down before looking into soundproofing

1999 Celica GT
My car suffers from very little rattle without any modifications made to the interior.

The only two sources of rattle is a tiny bit from my number plate cover (which is minimal and I can put up with), but I am getting some EXTREME rattling from my parcel shelf.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can minimize rattling besides removing the parcel shelf completely (or turning my stereo down - because that is not going to happen)?

my car still kinda rattles, after i put the whole bulk pack of real dynamat, but then again i have over 3000 watts of power........ >tongue.gif>
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.

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.
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!
