Door panel buzzes............!!!
Passenger door panel buzzes when I play any Bass setting above the "middle setting" especially on CD's............
When I push ( actually hold my hand against the door panel) against the inner door panel, it goes away...........****,........ and thought this vette was going to be better than my last one..............
Has anyone had this problem yet?
Cure?

Loose speaker? Loose connection? Take it to the dealer and tell them you can't here the bass in your Celine Dion songs and tell them to fix it.

my driver side does the same thing, but not with music, just all the time. Its not worth wasting a day taking it to the dealer, so I will pull the panel myself to investigate. (besides, I want to powdercoat the speaker grilles silver)

I have this same problem, except on my driver's side. I posted about this a month or so back, however no body had any sure answers to this (as everyone was afraid to take it to a dealer).
Some people suggested that the panel needs to be fastened more securely, while others suggested that the door may need more insulation.
I personally believe that the panel is fastened incorrectly.
There is a post like this in the FAQ...take a look if you have time.

Had the same thing in my C5. Hopefully, I won't face it again on the C6, but from the numerous complaints on the sound system on the C6, I'm not expecting much. I thought the C5 had a horrible sound system, so i'm anxious to see how bad it is on the C6. Why doesn't GM dump Bose already, and sign on with a higher end audio manufacturer. 
Bose's rep and quality has gone down the toilet, at least in the car audio end of things. It was excellent in a '94 C4 I had, and it's gone downhill ever since, including my '95 Camaro Z28. What a shame.

I also have the problem all the time, not just with the music on.Funny, when the car is warmed up it is much quiter.
I am waiting for Spring when it comes back out of the garage, and I will bring to the dealer - I do not trust myself to take the door liner off. It is loosest where the Ebony and Cashmere parts of the door panel come together.
