Help! Anybody experienced rear brake cable rattle on their scott foil?

Rear brake cable is routed internally and it seems to hit the frame inside and causes a rattling sound, its annoying esp when riding in a bad road.… I tried putting rubber donuts but there is still a rattling sound…

And I'm pretty sure its the cable because whenever i do a slight drop / slam the bike to the road test, I hear, and feel the cable banging and rattling inside the frame.

A few small cable ties with tails left on, tight around the inner, inside the frame (tails keep inner off the frame) Try and get the tails at pointing randomly ie 4oclock 6oclock 9oclock etc if that makes sense
Think that mostly sorted mine, still hear it occasionally

Wouldn't it be hard to shoot the cable on the exit hole with the cable ties? I already had a hard time routing the cable to the exit hole…. what more if with cable ties….

thanks for the tip, Ill try to do that.
