What is rattling are the little plastic covers up there. Could probably fix the rattle for cheaper then going with dynamat.

Stuff some foam or even some old towels under the deck lid to prop it up so it won't bang around but yeah sound damp. is also a must.
I have 2 layers on the bottom and 3 on the top, plus 2 layers of carpet underlay on the top, it still rattles

BTW-No he is not wasting his time but card board is not the material he should use
