Default C5 rattling noises!

this is getting to be so annoying. I need to do something about it. Im not sure if this is common or not, but if I'm playing music and theres any type of bass in song. whether Im playing it loud or soft the doors make noises from all over. It is getting ridiculous, especially when I'm not playing the music loud because the noises are still bad. anyone know of a fix for this?

If it is occuring only when you are playing music then it might be your speakers are rattling and not just the "door". If it truely is something in the door, then you should hear it all the time.

It sounds like there is a harmonic vibration with a loose speaker. See if the speaker mounting screws are tight.

Sometimes the "BOSE" emblem can buzz, check that out. Good luck, rattles can be tough to track down.

If this is the case, a little superglue can solve it.
