Default Front Door Rattle

Does anyone have rattles from the front doors when playing heavier bass music at around 20-25 in volume? If so, was lexus able to fix it and what did they do?

No rattles from the front doors. But I do have a rattle in the rear shelf.

I hear the same rattle from a speaker when the volume is up to 20-23. (ML) Can't tell if it is from the front or the rear. I keep the bass at +1, Mid +1 and Treb +2

I had the same annoying rattle coming from passenger side door panel when playing music at a higher volume. Took it to Lexus Westminister service, did not cure the problem. Instead, my rear bumper was misalighned and center console was poped off.
It is annoying and Mark Levinson sounds like a cheap Honda. Could you please tell me how to disassemble the door panel?

Sometimes the interior door handle inserts rattle. Try pushing on it the next time it rattles, if that's the culprit it should be an easy fix.

I put about 20k miles and it started to rattle from the passenger door. Honestly, my BMW 550i never rattled with Logic 7 surround system. I was expecting Lexus to be better with insulation and fit & finish. It is a disappointment. Too much cheap plastic is causing squeaks and rattles in so many parts in the interior now and I dont think that there is a permanent fix. Back in the days, I had a 92 SC400 and put on about 50k miles, but never had these kind of problems.

i have this problem in the passenger door. i have the ML and listen to the system between 20-30 at the most and have everything (low, mids, highs) at +2. It doesn't happen often, but i do hear it on the same songs each time...and they are songs with a lot of base per se....mentioned it to Lexus the last time i had it in...when i picked the car up they didn't mention anythinb about it. i let it slide because i had bigger fish to fry...they cracked my winshield and put 76 miles on my car...so needless to say i will have them look at the speaker when less is going on...
