There's several threads about this. Turn down the music or get some felt and put it in there to prevent it from rattling.

My 2014 had the rear speaker replaced due to the tweeter being toast. At loud volume the bass sounded terrible. Took them awhile to change out though.. Had to remove the rear seats..

jeez I don't think that's the problem I'm having lol. Some songs sound amazing and the songs that sound very vast tend to rattle the grill I can actually see it vibrating

If you have ever heard a blown speaker..thats what I had. As a previous poster mentioned it may be just a loose speaker grill causing it to rattle at its critical frequency. (at which is rattles..). see if messing around with the grille changes it..

in the 2014 the rear speaker is one assembly with one large grill.

whenever its at the low volume do you hear any weird sounds?
cuz in my case its the sub thats prolly blown a bit.

but like someone suggested put some felt in between rear deck and the cover plastic. and also on top of the rear window there is a plastic piece that creates unpleasant sounds once in a while. good luck
