Rubber to prevent rattling

Currently looking at buying some rubber/spongey material to stop the lid from vibrating/rattling on my cubby and then also the T_box i'm making.

What sort should I get??

Looking at this companies ebay shop as they have quite a range if different types

Carpet the underside will do the trick.
OR get an elastic strip across the top like I have to stop the Sub rattling the lid shout.
I have both of these ideas combined and they do the trick!

I did the edges of the seatbox lids, floor panels, transmission tunnel etc with a roll of 5mm thick closed cell foam approx 15mm wide. It's held up really well and a 10m roll is only a few pounds from ebay.

I've got some of that above from eBay trouble is the adhesive is rubbish, if it gets warm it'd move about.
I guess though it was very cheap so I won't complain.
