Bosch SX noise, am I crazy?

[Nerds On Dirt MTB]

Hey all I have a new SX motor and I have been trying to track down a rattle when hitting rough stuff, I have been covering my two cables with foam in the frame but it has not seemed to make a difference, do the SX motors rattle in rough stuff or do I just need to keep looking for a solution. Thanks!

"In terms of performance, for me the biggest downside of the Bosch SX motor is the clacking noise on the descents. This is due to the internal freewheel that disconnects the motor from the drivetrain when it isn’t supplying power. This helps to reduce drag, which Bosch says is 50% less than the CX motor. However, it also results in an annoying clacking noise when you’re coasting across rough terrain."
