Rattling speakers

Has anyone experienced rattling when listening to music? At least 2 of my speakers have a very noticeable and annoying rattle at medium volumes. I have never turned the stereo up loud.

Where do you live? If its in Southern Cali, I can recommend a great stereo shop to do some sound dampening. Worked wonders for me...although my entire system is aftermarket.

I'm located in Atlanta , I'm going to see if the dealership will fix this. I'll try a car audio spot after that.

The CLS has a very serious issue with soundproofing.....side mirrors, speakers, door panels.

It's a bit ridiculous on a $85-110k car.

I'm letting the dealer take care of all of this.....they can replace everything for all I care.

The number of threads started on this issue has been crazy....

Porsche 911 Turbo S 2014! E63S 14, Audi S8 13, CLS63 12, E550 12, C63 09, all tuned
I think it has more to do with the 3rd world roads in the Great lakes area than
the sound proofing. But I most admit they do vibrate a little much.

The dealership did something to make it mostly better when it was in for maintenance. It still does it on certain bass frequencies though, without the bass turned up or it being loud. I plan on having my audio shop fix it for me at some point.

Same thing in my 2013 CLS.
Dealer can't seem to be able to take care of it properly so decided to put up with it and get rid of the problem by trading the car in October for a 911TTS.
