C63 AMG - Speaker sound/setting & trunk vibration

I am sure everyone has somewhat similar experience so I want to reach out and see what y'all did to resolve/fix the issue --

I am using my audio almost 90% connected via Bluetooth on Harmon Kardon Premium Audio system. Now, at times, I am getting very stat-icky high pitch "unpleasant" sound coming out from the speaker when the volume is too loud or set on BOOST instead of normal. Also, at times, my trunk vibrates due to the bass and etc. Other than just lowering the volume and the boost mode to normal, what have you guys done? Or am I the only one who's experiencing this on my supposedly premium speakers? My other cars do not make any of these cheap sound when even the volume is raised high. Thanks for all your inputs.

Mine has been rattling for the past couple of weeks and I finally investigated the issue. I think my speaker is blown. Taking it in soon to get it checked out under warranty (will update next week).

You could test out what's wrong by pressing all around the trunk and see if the issue is still there, like a loose screw or plastic piece. Then press on the speaker and see if the noise/vibrations stop. Your speaker could just be going out and needs to be replaced.

My 13 when I bought it a year ago had a blown speaker in the rear parcel shelf, rattled and sounded terrible, had to drive back the next day and they replaced it.

Tried to see if the speakers were bad... moved the sound in all direction and everything sounded OK.

Now, I did notice vibration coming from the back when ALL speakers were turned on higher volume and more bass. I guess somewhere in the trunk. Tried to put my hands on the plastic covers on the back of the speakers and didn't help. I guess i will do some more research and see what I can do. Thanks.
