I have found a way to eliminate a major part of trunk rattle, here are the pics: (Taking pics right now) be back in 5 min

the rusty part in the pic is the main reason for trunk rattle. Not exactly sure what it is for, I have some ideas, but I have removed mine.

Use a 10mm socket to unscrew it

jam away, with almost no rattle at all( that is after using my bunjee cord thing also)

btw this is in my 98 accord

 

That is a harmonic resonator, It changes the interior sounds.

 

well after i took it off, i found it was just a hunk of metal and the sides where it is held on by its surround was broken. it was basically just dangling in there

and what do you mean by "it changes interior sounds"

 

The accord was for a an older market, whom get mad about rattle and shit, so they use big blocks of rubber to change the resonase of the vibration that come from the road and other inputs.

 

oh, well i like my car better without it

 

Or you could just buy Dynamat and not be cheap:dunno:

 

almost all rattles can be stopped by tightening all bolts and screws h:

my license plate used to rattle, and i only have the stock system. 2 rubber washers stopped that. h:

 

have already tightened eveything i could, still rattled until i did this
