How can I stop a sliding wardrobe door rattling in the wind?

Our answer

Install felt or rubber anti-rattle bumpers at the sliding-door contact points and adjust the track guide for a snug fit.

Why this approach makes sense

Identify when the sound happens and isolate one possible source at a time. Pipe, motor and building noises can travel well beyond their point of origin.

Before you try it

Do not dismantle electrical or pressurised systems to diagnose an intermittent noise; record the pattern before seeking repairs.
