Do any others here have a component stereo system and notice an annoying rattle ever so often when watching a movie or listening to music? I didn't notice this sound until we started using our new system but it's driving me crazy! I can't figure out what it is!

I can't help but wonder if maybe your bass is set too high. Do you have a subwoofer with adjustable bass, or adjustable bass/treble settings on the receiver?

Is there anything on or near the subwoofer? If so, the sound energy could be causing it to vibrate. You should also check to see if your subwoofer has feet that may need to be tightened, or a cable coming out of the jack.

We had a similar problem when we first set our stereo system up in the living room. Turned out in was because the subwoofer was sitting up under a glass and metal table and the bass was causing the glass to rattle in the metal seating. Maybe something like that is what's going on in your case. Might have something to do with where your subwoofer or other speakers are sitting.

It probably is something simple like the things others are pointing out. Glass tables nearby will also make that sound if the bass is too high.

Check where your A.C. is plugged in, I've seen where refrigerators, heaters, dryers etc. on the same circuit along with the audio equipment can cause problems.
