My man! Thanks for taking the time to make this Video. Mine was bugging me and I was about to buy some Dynamat to work on it. I already had a spool of Butyl, so after watching the vid I started with that and was able to fix it for $0. To your point on another comment, it's not 100% perfect withe some frequencies, but it is DRAMATICALLY improved. Thank you!
Thanks Barry, I just think the whole design is terrible. I rented a VW Taiga in Ireland last week, it’s a very bare bones car with an actual key for the ignition, but they fixed the speaker buzz for sure, never heard one rattle, so hopefully the newest models are ² away.
Thank you !!! You are a life saver !! The noise on my 2020 A3 was annoying me to death. Dealership claim to fix issue but the noise came back almost immediately. I will conduct this project next month.
Thanks man! I just got the car, it has about 700 miles on it and I already seem to hear some rattle from the central body that houses the gear leaver, only when I go over bumps. It’s driving me mad 🤦♂️
Thanks for the video. Going to do the same thing in my A4. Might try using the "Plumber's Putty" that I have at home which will probably work similar to these butyl tapes!
Would not recommend, plumbers putty is neither sticky enough nor durable enough to properly fix it. Butyl Sealant Tape,PROMOTOR Sealants Butyl Rubber Tape for Installing Car Part,Windows,Doors and Windshield etc, www.amazon.com/dp/B095NMPNZ3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_5WDKSCS9HCADW1246RW8
Plumbers putty will work OK short term, but in time it dries hard, and can crack, where as butyl rubber tape will stay hard for decades. Better than nothing for sure though.
Came across this video and I think I'm going to do the same. How have the rattles/resonance/harmonics been since? Dealership has been nearly hopeless trying to address it.
Hey still no buzz/rattling noise? I read it could be the fuel line vibrating causing that noise. Also does it make noise on both of your doors? Mine I can only hear from passenger side door.
Think this may be my issue. Did you notice the sound went away when the window was rolled down? It sounds like it may just be coming from the bottom right piece you point to by the speaker.
@@ubrsnl thanks for the video. I’ll try it out, but I swear the rattling goes away when the window is down, it’s odd. But it seems like it’s that bottom one by speaker you show in the video. Mine’s a ‘21 A5 Sportback w/B&O system so same layout. I’ll try taking apart tmmrw.
Fixed! It ended up being a bolt inside the door, right behind the bigger speaker, connected to the window arm (?) I think. Tightened it up. Not sure if it was from window tinter guy, or dealer that fixed a problem they caused on front fender. But while it was all apart I applied butyl tape everywhere. Thanks again
I have Audi A6 2020 and it's killing me with the rattling noise, it gets worse if I play bassy music I tried everything with zero improvement I even toke it to the dealership and they failed to resolve the issue.
Life saver, I have an ECS exhaust on my '18 S4 and the rattles that come from the increased exhaust vibration were driving me mad
Did this work?
Did a DIY today and have to say it worked like a charm. No more rattles or buzzing from the door. Appreciate the video
Glad it worked out, was like a whole new system when I was done!

How it go?

Just tried it there. Like driving a new car!! 2017 A5 Coupe. FYI plumbers putty works too, I couldn’t find any of the stuff he used local

Thanks man, I'll just got a 2018 A4 Avant quattro and the rattles stick out like sore thumb in an otherwise nice car
THANK YOU so much for this video fixed the annoyinh rattle !
Glad it was helpful!

Hope it works for you!

Very good, so much so that I haven’t been pushed to work on it again. Some of the frequencies are hard to tame in any automotive setting.
Hey still no buzz/rattling noise? I read it could be the fuel line vibrating causing that noise. Also does it make noise on both of your doors? Mine I can only hear from passenger side door.
There are others, for example my sunroof squeaks, but not from the doors.
@@ubrsnlso both of your door rattle/buzz before this fix? I can only hear buzz/rattling from my passenger side door but only on uneven/bad roads.
Think this may be my issue. Did you notice the sound went away when the window was rolled down?
It sounds like it may just be coming from the bottom right piece you point to by the speaker.
It’s most/many of those, window was unrelated, still sounds great now months later, the issues I addressed were definitely the problem.
@@ubrsnl thanks for the video. I’ll try it out, but I swear the rattling goes away when the window is down, it’s odd. But it seems like it’s that bottom one by speaker you show in the video. Mine’s a ‘21 A5 Sportback w/B&O system so same layout.

@@dustinskoubo8753 just slam the butyl tape on everything, it’s very good at deadening sound on whatever panel it’s on.
@@ubrsnl good call! Thanks! I went and grabbed the tape from Home Depot before they closed tonight haha. Fingers crossed.

What are those clips exactly called. I’m having the same issue
Clippy clips, no idea, they are just a bad design and this is a fix!
Hey have the noises came back?
No, Butyl tape always stays soft and sticky so it’s most likely permanent
I have Audi A6 2020 and it's killing me with the rattling noise, it gets worse if I play bassy music
I tried everything with zero improvement I even toke it to the dealership and they failed to resolve the issue.
Do this and you'll be a lot happier!
Now do one for the dash!😅
Same stuff will work, but you have to figure out how to take it apart!
Q5 have similar noises.
If you find it fixes your issue too lemme know and I'll add them to the list of fixable cars
