Online published on 20 December, 2018. Abstract Rattle noise from instrumentation panel can cause discomfort, distraction to the driver and caneven harm the brand image of the vehicle. Generally it cost a lot to fix such noise after manufacturing stage. Present study focuses on simulation of rattle noise in designing phase of instrumentation panel with help of E-Line methodology. Rattle prone areas in instrumentation panel of an automobile have been recognized and glove compartment plate of instrumentation panel has used for three design modifications studies for the purpose of rattle reductions.
