Here is a video I made using my moto phone going from West Virginia to Virginia on I-77.  East River Mountain Tunnel....

 
Besides the music, did ya hear all the rattling going on in the background? Life in a big truck I suppose. EVERYTHING rattles...
 
I most definitely heard all the rattling. That would rush me to the mechanic, I freak when I know the noise shouldn’t be there. That tunnel reminds me of the one I went through in New Jersey and I did not like it. There was a difference though. You didn’t have all the traffic. I think being bumper to bumper and of course my husband driving is what got to me. Now we can say I avoid New Jersey at all cost. But just wanted to say I did hear all the rattling.

just thought it was the audio

Had XM/Sirus radio at the time so about 50 feet into a tunnel and it goes away.  Then you get the rest of the noise you don't normally here from turning the volume knob way up.

A lot of that tinky tinky tink sound you hear is actually the compressor on my fridge.  I had a 4 cu/ft dorm fridge set in the place the passenger seat was and the compressor was held in place with 4 machine screws on some type of rubber vibration isolators.  I tried everything to reduce that noise to no avail. That fridge bounced around in that truck for 4 years and it still works.  Open shelving also contributes to the noise and all my canned goods rattled.   One thing I did learn was take the glass plate out of the microwave.  Man that was noisy when I forgot.

That is not much rattling at all. What wimps.
 
Man too bad the music cut off. That is one of my favorite Zeppelin songs!
