I have the same noise, except mine doesn't go away... its as if there is a marble stuck in the aluminum sill/frame) for something (but I only hear it during accel's & decel's)I've had a "rolling object" sound that seems to appear for a few months and then disappear for a few months.
Did you use the Superlite or which? Thx.Irritating interior noises down significantly since I got $20 worth of black Dynamat sheets. They're self-adhesive and can be cut with scissors.
I have a 6 pt harness along with stock belts so have a bunch of buckles bouncing along. I put a piece of Dynamat on the back of each seat, a piece under the seat bottoms, and on the bottom of my rubber mats, the sport mats from S111. Total weight probably 3 lbs, or less than the touring carpeting I pulled off the sills and floor. There is less of that amplified jingling resonance with these changes.
I don't really remember as they switch trade names a lot and often the stuff is sold in odd lots on Amazon. The stuff I used looks like this: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Second-Skin-Damplifier-Square-Feet/dp/B00FDX6A6C/ref=sr_1_84?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1400510253&sr=1-84&keywords=dynamat[/ame]Did you use the Superlite or which?

Me too, I tried everything to find the point that needed bushings but can not stop it.The worst rattle in my car is the stupid exhaust heat shield.
How about a spring loaded clamp?The worst rattle in my car is the stupid exhaust heat shield. Every time I pop rivet or put a bigger washer on it, it is good for a day and loosens up again. Ugh that one kills me. RIGHT at 3000 rpm too, which is where the car sits all the time.
Anyway, I'm glad you fixed yours! Now you can continue your game of whack-a-mole Lotus style, hunting rattle after rattle![]()
+1 to that. There's nothing special about the heat shield and a good wrap works just fine.Why not ditch the u-bend heat-shielding and heat wrap it up to the cat. I did that and then used a black silicone based product (meant for heat wrap) to coat the wrap and protect it from the elements. No issues since with heat-shield rattle. I also removed the other heat shield and opened the rear around the same time though.
