Post Rattling door pockets on V60

Hi, when I play my music in my V60, even at medium volumes, I find that anything hard, such as my phone, which is in the drivers door pocket starts rattling very annoyingly. Has anyone done anything to fix this? I'm thinking of buying some stuff rubber material, such as a mouse pad, and lining the door pocket with it.

Thanks

Water bottles also seem to vibrate/buzz against the door pockets. Drives me crazy. I'd be keen to hear of a solution.

Actually, I might line the pockets with felt (as they do in a VW Passat, and many other cars nowadays). At least Volvo have lined the central cubby with felt.

Not wishing to state the bleeding obvious but maybe by not putting items in there could be the solution.............

I bought some black self adhesive sheets of thin felt in a crafts store (in the US) and lined all 4 door pockets with it, like ShamusUK said - perfectly quiet now, whatever I put in...

All the bits and pieces I place in the door pockets, eg specs, water bottles, folding brolly, emergency hammer, etc, I wrap in a microfibre cloth. Crude, but works and I have plenty of dusters to hand!
