Any solutions to internal cable routing noise and rattles? It's going to drive me crazy!!!

heavy duty cable ties around the cables. Sadly, that sometimes requires the removal of the cable from the internal cavity, but just tie some string around the housing before you remove it so you can get it back in easier. 

 

Tie 2 large cable ties around the cable right next to each other (must be relatively large in order to be stiff enough to suspend the cable in the frame) in sorta the middle point of teh internal section of cable. Cable ties must be in opposing directions so they look like wings, almost... 

 

DON'T CUT THEM SHORT. Wrap them around the cable, so they can get inside the frame port. As they go inside, they should unravel and brace themselves - and the cable - against the inside walls of your frame, thereby suspending the cable. 

 

May need to do this in 2 places on each cable that's internally routed.

Put etap on your bike  :ph34r:

 

*edit: On a serious note, follow what Myles has suggested. Shimano makes use of a similar system for their internally routed DI2 cables
