Bass Rattling in Vehicle
https://audioroundtable.com/forum/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=73252&th=17591#msg_73252
Recently I noticed that the bass in our vehicle will make a rattling type noise if the volume is turned up too loud. What is causing this & how can I fix it?]]>Equinom2012-07-12T02:24:02-00:00Re: Bass Rattling in Vehicle

This is one of the major issues I have with car audio. It seems that everyone I've ever ridden with thinks that rattling sounds good.
Yes! This has been my complaint as well.
Equinom, you can purchase sound deadening material designed specifically for car audio. Installing it requires you to remove interior panels, so you'll need to be comfortable doing that or paying someone to do so.]]>audioaudio902012-09-28T13:47:26-00:00Re: Bass Rattling in Vehicle

The main product line for combatting panel resonance is called Dynamat, which is a tar-based tile that adhere's to the inner car body and dampens it through both mass and viscous resistance.
If only every DIY installer understood that your car isn't supposted to fart and installed some dynamat, I'd be much happier about those bass-head idiots cruising by. ]]>VoigtClub2012-11-13T23:32:27-00:00Re: Bass Rattling in Vehicle

Haha! It's good to know I'm not the only one who gets irritated. That rattling sound really sets my teeth on edge. I can't understand why so many people apparently like it.]]>Chicken2012-11-21T14:35:09-00:00Re: Bass Rattling in Vehicle

No, it has nothing to do with the "wattage rating" of your speakers or your amp. It has to do with the amount of acoustic energy and the structural integrity of the car.
Bill's right, at certain frequencies, it takes less power input to create a particular kinetic power level. At those frequencies, the structure (or part of the structure) vibrates strongly with relatively little energy input. That's where the car is most vulnerable.
Personally, I find it annoying. Cars are just a couple cubic meters, so it doesn't take much power to bring them to insane SPL inside the car. But when it makes all the panels vibrate and rub against each other, they sound like shit. So what's the point?
