I just stuck carpet pad in mine. Just enough that it tucks down so you can't see it. Hasn't rattled since.

You could try some self-adhesive foam pipe insulation. It comes in rolls and is pretty cheap.

sound deadener is for killing ringing and lowering resonance, not bracing rattling parts common misconception.

Try some weatherstripping, carpet padding, or other foam.
