Trunk Noise

Posts: n/a
Let me apologize in advance for this kind of pointless rant... I guess I am just over taken by the need to vent.
Anyone else notice how much noise you hear in the cabin from the trunk? Currently in my trunk I have one of those car duster thingee's and a Pep Boys bag containing a few turn signal bulbs and that is it. But it never fails ... Every time I turn a corner I hear this rumbling around in the trunk like I have loose canned food cans in there or something! It is sooo annoying!!

I have a less expensive variation of the organizer pictured below. The thing slides around but doesn't make nearly the noise that other stuff did when I was driving. The spare tire and jack are silent passengers because they are retained securely by that giant wing nut.
Keep in mind that the WRX (you didn't say what type of car you have) was designed with great chassis rigidity, but shed pounds with things like hood prop rod, aluminum hood, no insulation on underside of sheet metal trunk lid, paper trunk lining, Honda Civic pull-out car antenna, etc.
Get organized. Show off your Gucci trunk organizer or homemade deal and hear your friends go, "ooh" and "ahh", when you pop the trunk.
EDIT: The example trunk organizer pictured is sold out, but there are cheaper alternatives that are larger. That's what I was given as a gift (larger and cheaper) at X-mas 2001. I can fit 24 cans of Old Milwaukee, easy.
