Top tips to prevent rattling (1 Viewer)

The silicone tubing I got came out of a scrap combi boiler so if you know a plumber they should be able to get some.

 

[Ed Excel]

Convoluted grey silicon tubing from Aldi, for the oven shelves. Softly inflated ball in the oven cavity, to silence the grill assembly.
Also, get your tyre pressures as low as possible and make sure your back tyres are balanced.

 

[meanders]

We use most of the methods already mentioned, but we also bought some cheap small cushions which we can stuff in the overhead lockers to reduce rattles. Recently I found a pack of felt circles for a couple of pounds in Dunelm, which are excellent for slipping between plates etc.

' that there expanding polysterene criss cross stuff'?

Whatever do you mean?

 

[Wildbill]

My motorhome isn't a boneshaker by any stretch, but as I'm driving along there is definitely some rattling going on.

I was wondering if anyone had any top top tips to silence the rattles.

A stow away in each cupboard should do the job

Bubblewrap - the best thing since sliced bread .

Only you can't toast it, or put peanut butter on it either

To echo, bubble wrap is fine but thick compared with anti-slip rubber matting (£1 a roll from pound shop). It's brill! Cut it to any size and stuff it anywhere. I clamp the oven shelf with small plastic clamps (remembering to remove them prior to cooking!)

Some folk also use neoprene tablet computer sleeves (also from pound shops) to put plates in or to separate plates with.

Empty hangers in the wardrobe can be silenced by use pipe lagging on the rail, just push the hangers onto it.

The worst rattle we ever had was in an RV and the blinds were the culprit. Cut up draught excluder and stick small bits between the blind and the window stopped them rattling.

Our oven door is one offender so we trap a bit of the none slip between the door and the casing to stop it.

whats an empty hanger? the wardrobe is one place thats always silent

 

[Ockerron]

Went for a test drive recently...first one ever in a MH! Good God above. Sounded like the 1812 Overture in the back with all the noise from the cooker especially! Buying the brute anyway, and have a cunning plan to sort out the noise!

Small rectangular sponges used for dish washing. They can be bought in bulk packs and ideal between plates, in the oven door, etc

 

[wellsprungalice]

We have a couple of those heat-proof silicone squares for putting hot dishes on - they work as non-slip mats under the plates. Saucepans are contained in a plastic box (reduces tinny rattles and easy for pulling out of the bottom cupboard to find what you want, too). And we got a 'portable draining board' in a cheap shop - it's like a rubberised spongy cloth that you can stack plates and cups on when washing up. It goes in the microwave/grill when not in use to stop the bits rattling round in there.

 

[Zains Pops]

Tea Towels..........can't have too many. That non slip mat stuff cut to fit all shelves and lockers. Frequently we stop after the first mile or so and fix any bad rattles with more tea towels!! Then progress is generally quiet.

I got rid of all the rattling in my M H in one easy move, it was fairly expensive but really really worth it and now it is nice and quiet in my M H.


I got a divorce

We have these (which are drawer organisers officially) in a variety of sizes for our china mugs and wine glasses - keeps them neat and tidy and seperated Just make sure you measure up- some of them have movable dividers, but there should be something suitable

Avocados are usually wrapped in them so start eating as many avocados as you've got wine glasses

A hanger with no clothes on it. One may be silent but 2, or more, bang against each other once you remove the t-shirts, blouses ect. Simple solution, don't put them next to each other, but TOH doesn't always remember.

 

[Ed Excel]

Paper plates fit between most things, my socks for bottles and that grey tubular silicon stuff from Aldi for the oven shelf; Their oven liner's good, too, for subduing grill pan noises.

 

[Wildman]

remove or switch off hearing aid does it for me.

[frogijock]

Switch off hearing aid, also recommended for silent wife

 

[peterc10]

My worst rattles come from the roof light combi blinds and flyscreens. They are the concertina type. Any advice on stopping that would be gratefully received

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

Expanding foam !

[Stroppy Bird]

Well, Vlad has got it nearly right! On my rattly blind (abeit side window not roof) I place a bit of foam between the blind and the cassette holding the blind. Only the biggest blind rattles so it only needs to be done on the one before we set off. On one of the other windows the window arms (stays?) rattles and so I use double sided velcro wrapped around them. Like others bubble wrap for the grill, and a squishy cushion in the crockery drawer.

 

[Janine]

A large car-sponge wedged between the grill pan and grill (after it's cooled down, of course!) works well for us.

A plastic container the size of the oven holds saucepans wrapped in tea towels.

A long piece of folded cardboard strategically placed through the front of the gas fire stops the metal 'blades' from vibrating. (Stupid design!)

 

[busby]

We are genius aren't we!

I throw the grill pan on the bed, and for everything else I use the non slip stuff, nowhere near as thick as bubble wrap but does the job superbly.

However I am on the look out for that there expanding polysterene criss cross stuff to put my glasses in cannot do plastic wine glasses!

Our new ( to us ) van has those foldy out venetian blind types things in the cab windows ..
The surrounds they are housed in creak and rattle constantly.. Not overly loud but enough to be intrusive in what is, apart from those noises, a very quiet ride.

 

[Dawn B]

No rattles in ours, except when some idiot leaves a baking tray in the oven.
Stopped 4 times on the way home - to silence the rattle - before I realised what was making the noise
