Just fitted the bonnet insulation. Really easy to fit and quite cheap. Makes huge difference to engine sound, now far quieter.
Will also stop bonnet getting hot from turbo.
Great product.
The part numbers are insulation 39034618 I paid £80.00, clips 8 off 13336240 I paid £9.50 for 8.
Just google part numbers I got mine from 'genuine parts search'.
Will do some photos next week when I've fitted mudflaps too.
yup! ..... think it sounded worse this am ...especially just after starting up while on drive ....hoping my winter checkup at the dealer will through some light on it :/
very irritating Dan ! I hate rattles etc. Got a couple on the seat Leon , door panel which is common and dash surround which you guessed it is again really common. I did have a centre dash rattle on my K which I just couldn't get rid of or locate.
But engine rattle is a problem. Unfortunately could be loads of things...hopefully as you said they can find something in the winter check.
Have just done comparison test fir the bonnet acoustic insulation for sound levels and externally the reduction in noise at tick over is 6dBs and internally 3dBs.

Just had 1st service done and the service manager was well impressed with the bonnet insulation. 1st one he's seen with it fitted. I must say it does look far nicer and properly finished.
Yes, the SRI NAV1.6 T underbonnet and wheel arch insulation was standared at MY16.5 and was deleted for MY 17.0.
As I ordered mt SRI NAV in MY 16.5 and got neither, though I did get them retrofitted by the Dealer after complaining. Some MY 17.0 features were better than MY 16.5, so I was well pleased - although the internet connectivity hot spot was reduced from 1 year to 3 months (contested, but no joy).
Mine is a 16 plate elite sports tourer. My mate has an 18 plate elite sports tourer which also has the insulation on bonnet and wings. Must be the UK built sports tourers still get it even at 18 plates..... But tbh knowing Vauxhall it's probably just random and depends what's on the shelf when it's built...
Mine was built April 18 in Poland and although the insulation was missing I did get the watts linkage and the additional passenger agr seat. Also think the build quality is great from Opel Poland.
