I can't seem to get a decent recording of the Chevy without some sound clipping on my Go Pro. Example here...

It seems on the sound graph that the sound is peaking at max when the annoying noise kicks in. Can anyone help please?

Thanks smile

Thanks to some help on Facebook, thanks Neil, it seems that it is vibration causing it. To fixes are to use the white thing that came in the camera and put some foam under the on off switch smile

The white rubber vibration insert plus a decent mic will give you good results - i use http://www.olympus.co.uk/site/en/a/audio_accessori...

GoPros are rubbish for sound full stop frown

For best results in your car use the open back and that clicking is the mount banging about, so you need to use the white nose clip thing (already been pointed out).

Your only real options are a stand alone sound recorder or using some sort of plug in mic. (have a look at the gopro 3 thread some people have had some fairly good results without spending to much) smile

That's really quite bad. I would recommend using The Frame for in car footage with an optional external microphone for even better sound quality.

Something like this would fix a rattling case...
