I used this on my Yeti build........... Works really well. Just be patient installing it! It is also a little spendy, but comes with enough to do several bikes.

I had that on my cube up in the head area.
I pulled the battery holder out and inserted a bit of foam pipe insulation up there around the cables. Actually it was the packaging material they used when the bike was delivered, so a bit thinner than the normal Pipe insulation. Made a HUGE difference.

My Cube is also rattling very badly. How easy was it to remove the battery holder? Thanks.

To tell you the truth, it was a royal faffing pain in the bum!!
I can't even help you with it as I am not sure I did it right. Also my battery is more difficult to get in or out since I did it. :-(
There are 2 rubber stoppers that have to be removed with screws under them. Plus the 2 bolts at the top and 2 at the bottom. BUT there are multiple washers etc under each bolt that have a tendancy to fall out and dissapear somewhere into your bike frame.
And I had to remove the lock as well.

Pop to builders merchants and get a can of expanding foam.
Pump contents into all hollow voids of your bike.
Stand back and watch your beautiful bike become worthless but rattle free ?

Or simply remove slack in cables and use a bit of foam zip ties ect

mine was the dropper cable as it passes the TCU and down the top tube ,carbon frame always picks up more noise . Slipped a length of insulation foam in.
