I am having an issue with one of my basement Windows rattling from my subs. Has anybody had this issue and if so what did you do? It's a standard basement window and I was wondering can I use something to help mitigate it.
The simplest thing to do would be to wedge something in to the window to apply pressure to it... just enough to keep it from rattling. Preferably something with a soft contact patch so you don't scratch or break the glass, and easily removable in case the window does need to open.
If that doesn't work, (like if the window opens out by hinging at the top or bottom) try adding some foam weather stripping to the frame where the window makes contact.
Do you want to use the window, too? If not you could seal the window off, make a panel stuffed with Roxul R80 Rockboard, cover the window side with plywood covered in black material, and lastly cover the interior side to match your room.
I am thinking the clay might stop the rattles, and then a box stuffed with Rockboard could be put over the window (inside the room) to stop sound from leaking out of the room (a side benefit is you can make your room dark (which improves apparent contrast, and is a big plus if you want to go with a projector).
lol ... I don't even have my subs cut up yet! I might cut them up and have other rattling issues.??????
