air box rubber feet or grommets?

my car sounds loud and has a vibration constantly, sounds like a blown exhaust but checked exhaust at garage and all is well, the exhaust guy thinks its coming from airbox area,
changed air filter stoll the same, so investigated further and noticed entire box is loose, and only one rubber grommet to support locating pegs on bottom,
2 questions for the forum, 1, do you think this would be the cause of the blown exhaust sound vibrating up front? and 2, does anyone know the correct name for these rubber grommet things? sound driving me mad,, cant be heard from outside of car, just when you get in? cheers,

yeah i read your post first but didnt want to hijack your thread as my airbox screws are all tight its the actual airbox that isnt securely attatched at the base where a couple of plastic prongs one doesnt have the rubber bush fitted allowing airbox to move,, was just curious if it was similar problem i had,
did yours sound like a loud blow in exhaust that kind of pops or vibrates when you slow down that sound like its from bulkhead area?

mine more of a loud drone from the engine, like a sporty throaty noise, no popping, like I say at idle speed with bonnet open, pressing down on the box cuts the sound 2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -

You will need the seat grommets on the bottom, but, you many also need to adjust the tube and clamp for a good fit. If the mechanic did not line up the tube end and airbox properly, it will unseat itself. Get the feet and line up the arrows.
