So as I was driving around today with my bass thumping, all of sudden, a nasty annoying rattle was heard from my passenger door. I immediately thought the speaker in door may have broke or something came loose, but when I listened closer it wasn't anywhere near there. The rattle was coming from the rear of the door (closest to the seatbelt) and up pretty high. When I had my girlfriend listen, she thought it was coming from about where some door locks are on other vehicles (you know the ones that pop up). It was somewhere in that region. The rattle would go away when my music was quieted, but seemed to rattle to beat of more bass heavy songs... anyone else experience this?? Or have any clue what it could be??

If this helps, it was a real loose, resonating rattle (not one of those tight rattles).

I'm taking my car in this week to finish the warranty work I've posted another thread about, so I'd like to give the mechanic there some kind of idea so they don't start prying apart my door... any help would be greatly apprecaited.

 

Vibration can work things loose - if you are running your speakers this loud you might also check your hearing, you can rattle things enough to lose frequencies inside your ears also...

 

Front door speaker wire is loose. See DIY rattle section.

 

If that doesn't do it, also check this TSB on rear door rattle: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...7-04-1281a.pdf

I had it and they fixed it in just a few minutes.

I had a rattle in my passenger door. Turns out I just forgot that I had a cd in the little compartment thingy.

 

Boy do I wish that was the case with this rattle... the noise is ANNOYING!! I am taking it in later today to see what they'll do.. .I'm sure its just a wire that came loose in teh door.
