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?

Yes I am experiencing it also, I'm going to have my dealership fix it when I take it for my 5k service, but I am noticing it around the speaker area

Mine rattles really bad too on certain songs with heavy bass.

SunnyPanx

same here mentioned it in the last service they couldn't do anything they said , useless folk

I'm going to have them put felt or tighten a screw or loosen if necessary, I'm assuming it's plastic hitting the speaker or something

same here, whenever it rattles, ill hold on to that area and the rattle stops. I believe this can fixed! just waiting for someone here to find out what it is

I'm taking mine in today so I'll let you know what they do. They better fix it or I'm gonna be real pissed lol

Same here, though mine comes and goes.

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.

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:

I have the same exact problem. Left door rattling with bass.. Wtf!

This is exactly the cause for me. The plastic cutout for the power windows is rattling against the surrounding trim. It was something I noticed in certain songs/frequencies earlier on, but haven't noticed it much recently. I'm sure the temperature plays a role.

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.

I have the same problem, and I'm going to ask my manager about it on this weekends

DJ90

do you have pics of where you inserted the rubber piece?
