Mine never rattle, and with 5 subs there's enough bass to rattle my freaking projector screen! If you're truly worried, go to each one, tap tap tap it real good, and you will find out real fast if it rattles. My bigger concern would be each can is a hole cut in the wall you spent so much time and money trying to make stop sound. So you need to seal around each can making it just as solid as the rest of the wall. Ditto outlets. Ditto door seals.....
Dedicated Music Room Recessed Lighting (High Hats)?
The music room is down to studs. Rewired the entire room and in the process added 7 high hats. They were to be used to make the room very bright for cleaning, playing with wires etc. I also have four sconces that will get the old style low wattage Edison bulbs for lighting during listening (as well as a lamp or two). It did not occur to me that although the "cans" won't be used during music the "cans" may buzz. I've been told this by three audiophiles and a home theater guy. Two emphatically tell me to "rip them out while you can". Others have told me just go get the automotive sound deadening sheets (cut and stick on the cans). The room has been insulated with Roxul SAFB (Sound Absorbing Fire Barrier) in batt form 6" in the walls 9" in the ceiling. Does anyone have any experience with cans rattling or buzzing?
Should I rip them out? Yes I do listen to music very loud at times. Thanks.
