NOCK Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 when i crank the (standard speakers) tunes up, i get a rattle from the left speaker, but not the right. for this reason i am thinking there must be something loose on the left one. this might be a stupid question but has anyone else had that before? whats it likely to be? someone please help before i get angry an reach for the flat-head screwdriver lol.NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jermaine Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 i get this. don't know much about audio but i think most of the bass in tracks comes out from the left speaker. just my thought for the day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 that cant be true though surely because it is in stereo an the balance from my headunit is equal both sides!NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoxy Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I get this too. I'm going to take out the door card and have a look this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavs_arosa16v Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Sounds like a loose wire, speaker, or something else loose in there or the speaker is damaged.Best thing to do is have a look.Also make sure its nothing rattling in the side pockets. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Edited January 2, 2007 by Gavs_arosa16v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 woah im surprised that this is so commonswoxy if you work out what it is can you let me know please? because i am a complete amateur an if i take the speaker out or whatever, i probably won't ever get it back in again lol.NOCKAlso make sure its nothing rattling in the side pockets. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />nah the rattle is there with them empty, good thinking though!NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Have you got manual or electric windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 electric, why?NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Electric windows operate on a cable system, if you've got a worn or loose mechanism the cable may be rattling against the centre 'runner' which goes up & down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 sounds complicated, i think i'd just be better cuttin the bass from the front speakers and sending bass only to the subs when they go in the boot in the near future, this'll get rid of the rattle me thinksNOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steffro Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 It is probably just the plastic lower door card that has the grill and pocket in etc rattling. I had this loads when I had the lupo, I put loads of flashing tape over the back, screwed it back on and no rattles!Other wires in the door can rattle as well, you need to tape anything loose down and preferably sound deaden it. Blown speakers dont rattle - they just dont work. Or they will make a farting sound with no bass if the suround has torn. If you turn the bass down it should go, if the speaker still sounds good then it isnt damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCK Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well yesterday I took the door card off, had a look to see if i could see anything rattling, even played the music without the door card on and still had the rattle. So now I'm p***** off because I've got a rattle that's driving me up the wall and I don't know where the hell from!!!!!!I don't think it's the windscreen because it's the original one. So what else could it be? Any ideas?NOCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupywebb Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 i had a rattle from mine too. try tightening the nuts on the wiper motors i found one that was lose and that sorted it. i think there was 3 or 4 10mm nuts, you might have to remove top and lower panels to find all nuts but try the bottom ones first. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimlouwa Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Glad i've seen this topic...my left speaker started rattling yesterday. Not had a look at it yet, i've just put my sound more to the back at the moment, but feel free to keep the ideas coming!

canonman Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 I get rattles but thats because I have stuff in the pockets style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Thing that doesn't help is when you go faster the sound gets alot louder and that could damage your speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Do a bit of sound deadening style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Get some foam - about 1cm thick, and cut a couple of sheets and stick them to the inside of the lower door panel itself... If its the door pannel causing the rattle, then you'll have fixed it...If it still rattles after it could be your speaker that is damaged, meaning time for new speakers, so when you put your new speakers in, you'll get even more benefit what with having the sound deadening style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
