Driver door rattle from bass
I just noticed I'm getting a rattle from the power window panel on the driver door when the bass kicks in with the mark levinson system. Anyone else experienced this?

also mine does and I discovered that the rattle coming from the door handle and precise plate buttons by opening / closing windows and command control mirrors that vibrates and creates sound.
to see if it really is that in your case, with the door closed, put your left knee and pull to the left while resting his left hand on the control panel to stop the vibration
if you do not hear the rattle more then your fault is like mine and you have to disassemble the control panel to delete tighten the screws that join the handle and insert foam that absorbs vibration and stops.

The pursuit of F
If no success with the dealer as they may say it's your music (too much bass), one suggestion is if you're a DIYer, remove the door panel and add a sound mat behind the speaker. Dynamat or 3M are two popular ones and would help reduce the vibration.
I've taken the panel off my RX and would expect it to be a similar procedure, if interested:

Aside from the dynamat recommendations, I wonder if you could find a thin enough piece of material to fit reliably between the frame and trim.

Fixed the problem myself guys and it took 5 minutes. I popped out the switch panel and unscrewed the screws and placed a small thin rubber piece between the switch panel and the silver carbon fiber looking plastic. I can now enjoy full bass and not a tiny bit of rattle. It's sooooo much better.
