Can you put weather insulation stripping on the lid portion?

Great idea. I placed one along the front edge, but the metal lid still comes down with a heavy thud. Placing more towards the back, so it almost pinches at the hinge point might help.

I should have added in the post - the main reason for this is to quiet the box as much as possible to help reduce reactions from our dog we rescued this year. New mailman last month, who lets the lid slam and then walks along our porch by the windows, leading to a reaction from our dog. He's been getting a training session almost every day, for various behavior/obedience, but I'm looking for an assist to help with mailman reactivity.

Play loud music all day, then the dog won't hear the mailman. I'm a problem solver.

I like that solution, not sure if my wife would agree!

My post was removed, but thanks for the reply...

I have that same mailbox, and it can be noisy.

I like the weatherstripping idea that someone had.

Happy New Year, dude!
