Default subwoofer noise

Has anyone experienced the subwoofer making crackling noise? I'm wondering if it's too much bass in certain songs so I turn down the bass. I'm hoping the subwoofer is not blown because I barely crack the volume and I hear it

well if it's blown hopefully you still have warranty right?

unless it's very very strong base, the ml system should be able to sustain it i think. it's a speaker cracking sound and not a rattle?

I wanted to reply sooner but had trouble logging in...

Have you checked the seatbelt straps on the back seat? I thought that I had blown my subwoofer but realized that it was just one of the straps vibrating on the magnet.

dsimo, your info was on point, it was one of the straps. I played a cd with heavy bass and the baffling noise seems to have disappeared. Thanks for the advise
