Weird ball rolling noise from speakers
I just turned my car on to listen to the radio and notice this weird noise, it's not that typical "fuzzy/static" noise, this sounds like mini steel ***** rolling around in a ceramic bowl. I think thats the best I can describe it lol, but its a very unsual sound, anyone had this problem before?
Here's the video with the sound.

Thanks! that's good to know, I'm gonna pop it out this weekend and check it out. I have ML aswell, I tested the speakers throughout the car today and narrowed it down and the front one (like picture above) is the only one making that weird noise you hear in the video. Maybe its blown

it looks the exact same
Kinda funny you have that issue, i've disconnected my center speaker.
I don't know why I did as that's a separate channel and i was just disabling the two front tweeters. I think I will hook it back up now I think about it.

whaaat? a dealer should NEVER tell you that man. If it snaps crackles and pops, then it's time for a replacement, not for you to turn down the music....
Today I just sent my car in, and to test for a "key not detected" fault after the car was shut off, I had to turn UP the music, loud enough that it shook the whole service department and people started gathering around the garage to see why it was so loud in there.
After the diagnostics team took a look at it, they scratched their head and went "we'll fix it"
Not "well you need to turn ur bass down, it's distorting the key locking procedure" LOL

I think that's an ML thing, my uncle's or 07 450h ML system does the same thing. I keep telling him to bring it back (because he listens to very beaty and bass-y music like trance and occasional rap). Everytime it comes back home it sounds the darn same
Still though, I'd grill them about that issue, because crackling is different from popping when beats are hit. Have you tried a different service advisor? I've moved quite a few times just to get MY issues resolved and my point across with the "key not detected" issue.

Hey Goku, how do you disconnect the front center speaker? If I find out it's too costly to fix or replace, I might just do what you did and disconnect it and use the rest of the speakers in the car lol

1) you take your credit card, or any card you're not using as you might damage the magnetic strip.
2) Slide it inbetween the cracks of the grill
3) bend and pull motion
4) there you have it, it's right there, now take (i believe, dont quote me on this) a 12mm socket wrench, loosen up the two bolts, and disconnect it, it's not hardwired into the speaker, it's connected via connectors

Ok great thanks bro, you wouldn't happen to know the size of the speakers do you? because I'm gonna search around see if I can find a replacement in case it is blown.
And is there a specific brand/type I should look at or any speaker will do?

any speaker within limits should do for one. But I doubt you'll find it's size, i believe it's like 3.5in or 3in or something really odd that i've actually tried to find myself with no luck. Then again you could be lucky! If you are please PM me as i'd love a center speaker upgrade hehe.
If you want the exact size, just take a ruler and measure diameter, the rest you will be able to fabricate onto the bracket to hold it in place yourself. all you need to worry about truly is whether it fits or not.
