the solution.. stick a pcs of think sponge onto the air filter box.. hehe.. i used the heat insulation sponge to do it.. immediately no sound..
another source of the sound might be from the small little box on the left.. dunno what is it for.. but the one can re-adjust the position..

think the small black plastic box you're refering to is the resonator box.. to keep the intake quiet.. =)
yeah, put a piece of rubber or sponge in between you'll hear no more rattling..

I've installed the struct bar for more than a year. Initially I heard sounds but it is due to one grounding cable that is too tight. After fixing it, the sound is gone.
I've done heatshield to the airbox so the material provides a cushion between airbox and struct bar.

I would use a table cloth instead. ;D
