That or foam will. Assuming you apply it in the spot that is rattling.

Yeah.. as Kale said.. mat and foam (I used Frost King).. apply enough of it and in the right spots and your all set. I did basically the entire bottom of my car with the Frost King (trunk and cockpit) and it took 5 rolls (75sq ft). The Dynamat you can put in choice locations to deaden things.

Well if you use frost king, the foil might rattle against something.

I just use 1/8" closed cell foam. You can wrap it around rods, wires, and put it all over. I also stuffed every crevice with open cell foam that I could (packing foam)

you might just have loose screws. If that's the case a spring lock washer should solve your problem.
