Cargo area side panel diagram / sub rattle

[Tortuga353]

I’m using Noico 80 mil I have leftover from my Tacoma sound deadening project. It works well on Amazon and much less expensive than name brand.

I get a bit of a buzz on some songs, anybody have a link to the right dynamat stuff to buy? It's not exactly cheap and there seem to be different kinds, I know nothing about sound deadening materials. Would like to fix that buzz eventually.

I probably should have figured out what was buzzing before pulling off the plastic, but in case this is helpful…

I did mine today with Noico and felt tape. Sorry I didn’t take any good pictures of what I did post but basically just softened all plastic touch points and secured all clips, wires, and connectors.

It made a drastic improvement. No more sub rattle and noticed it sounded quiet rolling down the road. No noticeable ticks or clicks.

As an update, rattling is more subdued but you’re never going to win. Even the roll bar rattles with certain songs. And the clips themselves (the white ones that push on) rattle…

Did you wrap all the connectors, wire ways behind seats, and plugs under rear seats? I don’t really hear rattling.

Also, I think the felt tape was more effective in dampening the vibration vs the sound damping material since it is foil backed.

Where did you put the Noico? When you say felt tape, did you just add more to the wire runs that are already wrapped? I cleared up most of my rattles a while back by focusing on the clips and fasteners, but have some new ones recently. Haven’t dug in back there again yet.

The Noico I used similar to skiborsy but lined the whole plastic section towards the front and before speaker. I used felt tape around speaker grill and all the nearby speaker plastic. Both on the speaker side and the trim panel. Obviously leave the amp free and clear.

I wrapped the connectors around the speaker in felt. I also have a small plastic wire way under the seats that was not wrapped. I went ahead and put a felt strip under the whole wire way. There were two plugs under the seats. This was the first rattle I identified. If I hit the rear seat it rattled. I wrapped the driver side connection and when apart the passenger for good measure. Sorry I didn’t take photos.

I just sound deadened the crap out of mine. First I put sound deadening under where the sub mounts and I put it inside the su enclosure and the outside of the enclosure.

I then put it around the paneling even being able to slide some under the mesh grill. I filled in the hexagon shapes while putting a sheet over the top of that. I was afraid if I went straight sheet I would have the best contact in those holes.

Cranked the radio up to 28 and played multiple songs with low and punchy bass and heard NO rattles

i also put a stip at the bottom of the wheel well where the plastic panneling meets down there since i had extra.

@zane8stacks confirming that I understand the outcome of your post:

So you did all that and you still had rattles or that was a typo? Was it somewhat better at least?

Sorry I wrote that on mobile last night. There were NO rattles.
