Gopro's do give that rattle sound sometimes ... But saying that I was expecting a different sound I'll do mine one day see if it's same

This is mine, De ressonated and fibreglass wadding removed from the valved side of each back box.
Oh and the pipes have been diconnected and blocked so valves are open all the time.

I recently picked up the Hero 4 Silver.... Has touch screen on the back.... Capable little bit of kit! The Hero 4 Black appears to have higher frame rates for 4K recording, but no touch screen (the Silver also records in 4K up to 15 FPS).
Don't think I'd be as brave as the OP and attach it to the outside of the car, my luck it would be lead on the road in bits after a couple of corners Great vid though!
First real test will be a boarding trip in France next week.

Buy the suction cup mate...no issues of it coming off as long as you put it on right...i been on you tube for tips on trying to keep noise down so i stuck a sponge in the back and will try again and see if it cuts wind noise out a bit

Is it much louder from the original sound (valves open?). I usually get up at 4-5 in the morning and cold start the car right outside two 7 story buildings with bedrooms facing the parking lot. Would you recommend? (perhaps with having the flaps connected?)

Mmmm cold start is pretty loud tbh, it is defiantly louder when valves open but with them connected and not in sport mode it isn't much louder than stock. I think you may upset some neighbours with your situation though. Lol.

Great vid though!
