Adsibob Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 We have a rather large decorative toilet roll holder in our downstairs loo. It is hung on a tiled wall, the other side of which is our TV room. Whenever somebody uses the toilet roll, it rattles against the tiles. The rattling is barely audible on the toilet side, but the wall must act as some sort of amplifier/drum and the sound in the TV room is really noticeable. The toilet roll frame (the decorative bit) is made of metal and about 8mm wide and 8mm thick. It forms a rectangle which is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper with the toilet roll hung at the bottom. It is only attached to the wall by two screws at the top of the rectangle. I’m thinking that if I insert some rubber between the frame and the tiles, they might dampen the rattling. Do you think this will work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazon-Brand-Stripping-Adhesive-Excluder/dp/B09L7P2RWT/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?crid=1M8QH6PD9G113&keywords=high+density+self+adhesive+rubber+anti+vibration&qid=1669107111&sprefix=high+density+self+adhesive+rubber+anti+vibration+%2Caps%2C68&sr=8-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Yes, double sides sticky foam pads work well too, had a similar problem with a mirror that rattled when the door was opened or closed, resilient material dampens the sound and being sticky stopped the mirror moving.

Adsibob Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Double sided. Good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaCurandera Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I use the 3M pads for quite a bit which both have a bit of thickness to dampen vibration and hold really well. https://www.amazon.co.uk/3m-sticky-pads-double-sided/s?k=3m+sticky+pads+double+sided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
