Many of you have had problems with rattles that the stealer couldnt/ wouldnt find. Sometimes this is because they would drive the car at sufficient speed to hear it (health an safety etc etc.)
However I had a rattle that I could not find but I heard of a cd that simulates road noise through the car speakers and recreates the vibration so you can find it.
It worked for me , the rattle turned out to be a biro in the passenger door pocket rattling against a bottle of nail varnish (the wifes not mine). This was impossible to find when driving the car and although I could tell it was from the passenger side I couldnt tell where from.
take a look at www.rattlebuster.com

there seems to be quite alot of 'get out' clauses. i'd be sceptical of this being much help in most of the cases here on the forum so far.



Q1. Will RattleBuster find rattles outside my car? * No, it only works inside a car. RattleBuster finds interior car rattles.

Q2. Will RattleBuster find rattles under my car? * No, it only works inside a car. RattleBuster finds interior car rattles.

Q3. Will it find every rattle or vibration? * RattleBuster will help you locate many interior rattles and buzzes dependant upon their cause. * The product is an effective automotive- aid for anyone (Trade or public) that is looking for an annoying rattle, vibration or dashboard buzz inside a vehicle. Think of it in the same way that you might use a Multimeter to diagnose an electrical fault within a vehicle. Both tools are effective automotive aids but are not necessarily a guaranteed 100% fix.

During the early development of the product we carried out extensive testing on over 40 different types of vehicle. We were able to induce and pin-point the cause of annoying rattles and vibrations in virtually all the vehicles that we tested.

Q4. Can I use the product whilst driving? * This is definitely not recommended - as it defeats the road safety objective of the product. The product is designed to safely find annoying rattles and vibrations whilst your vehicle is stationary.

Q5. Where should I use the product? * Find a safe place to park up your vehicle. If you have a parking space outside your house away from the road, this is ideal. You need to be able to move freely around the vehicle in order to trace the source of the rattle or vibration, so do not park on a highway when using the product.

Q6. Is the product available in Tape format? * No

Q7. My CD player is quite old and some of my speakers are blown, will the product still work? * RattleBuster requires your CD player and vehicles speaker system to be in perfect working order to allow successful location of interior rattles.

Q8. If I buy the rattlebuster product and turn the volume up to max and damage my speakers, will you pay for the cost of replacement?

At no time should the user turn up the volume to the max setting as this is very likely to damage your vehicles speakers (regardless of which CD you have playing) and more importantly, "it could seriously damage your hearing"

You must start each tone on the minimum volume setting and slowly increase the volume as required in order to increase the amount of vibration delivered by your vehicles sound system. We also suggest that - The secret to using the product efficiently is to use the minimum amount of amplification required to induce the rattle or vibration that you are looking to pin-point.

It is virtually impossible to pin-point a rattle if the tones are turned up very loud (all you will hear are the tones you are playing).

* As a rough guide, we suggest that you should never exceed 40-50% volume on your CD player using this CD product and that in most cases, 25-30% volume should be sufficient to show up any rattles or vibrations.

Please note: "RattleBuster will not make a 10 year old banger feel and drive like a new car"

there may be a few get outs but it costs very little and a lot of owners have probably spent as much in fuel taking a car to a dealer who then says he cant find the rattle.
Worth a shot if it means you can porve that your car really does have that annoying rattle
