Re: bass trap made of air duct insulation

There is no guarantee that ANY bass traps or damping will keep your door from rattling. The traps can damp the room modes, but will not necessary address structural vibration problems.

Your best bet to take care of the door might be to mass load the walls in that vicinity, finding out just how tight the wall seams are, and pouring dry clean (play grade) sand in to the space in the walls around the offending door. In order to help stop the door, it may only be necessary to load the wall spaces immedaitely adjacent to the door.
