BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Rattling is defined as an effect of sound produced by movement of an article when placed inside an object, which can be produced due to the movement of the object. Such rattling effects can be produced in various applications. One such major application is in vehicles. Many internal parts of the vehicle which can include multiple objects placed one inside another can be a subject to such rattling effect.
[0004] In conventional approaches, in order to avoid such rattling effects, either the entire design of the corresponding part or a major design of such part needs to be replaced.
