Door buzzing from speaker bass - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

drift86 · 05-23-2022, 06:44 PM

Does everyone's door buzzes when certain bass frequencies are played through the speakers?

Anyone had any success getting rid of the buzz?

You can test it with this clip:

Mine buzzes like crazy between 50-75Hz...

Yeah, I've got a little bit of buzz.

I did have a lot when I first got the car but I figured out it was coming from the little plastic triangle pieces inside the interior door latch. I popped those off, put some friction tape on the back and then clipped them back in and now they no longer vibrate and rattle.

Now I just have a little bit of buzz from heavy bass but it's not nearly bad enough to where I want to go pulling the door cards off to chase it.

i stopped having problems once i rewired the car for full active, with a sub, and 80hz high pass on the doors.

Mine was really bad. I had the dealer check it out while they had it for alignment. They said it was the wiring (or plugs?) for the window switch. It still rattles occasionally with extra low frequencies but it's infrequent enough not to bother me.

Well go into settings and audio customization and I turned my treb to max my mid in the middle and the bass to 1/4 and give that a go. No more banging. This speakers aren’t made for booming bass at All.

At least in my case, it's definitely not a speaker issue. When the right bass tones play and it rattles, just putting mild pressure on the window switch panel completely eliminates the rattling. I have a new switch plate on order, hopefully it'll fit better then the original. If not, and it's the door card I'll let the dealer handle it under warranty.

A little felt goes a long way. Dealer don't do that

Funny story.
On my '13 a had a buzzing driver's door speaker. Took the door apart and foamed the speaker and all associated parts. Put it all back together and the buzz was still there.
Humm...
I notice that I have my garage door opener clipped to the bottle holder on the door. Removed it and the buzz was gone.

I don't know.. I never turn on the stupid 1970s system that Subaru think is suitable for this day and age..
