Platinum B&O Unleashed Front Primary Door Speaker Rattle?

[Harlemox]

Has anyone noticed rattling coming from their front door speakers with certain bass notes on the B&O Unleashed system?

I've noticed my passenger side speaker seems to rattle like crazy when playing certain songs at louder volumes (for example, Lake Nivu - Jerro at 2:39 and onwards with volume level 18+). In most other songs, the rest of the song tends to be able to drown the rattle out but if you listen for it, it's definitely there.

While playing the song, holding my hand on the silver B&O speaker grille completely stops the rattle.

I've noticed my drivers side door seems to also do it but not nearly as loud/noticeable as my passenger door speaker, i.e. I have to hold my ear next to the speaker to listen for the rattle.

Note this is not the rear sliding window rattle (which I also have), but I've very specifically isolated it to the passenger door.

Shining a light into the speaker grille, it looks like there is foam and some piece of reinforcement plastic behind the grille (probably to stop the grille from getting dented inward/hold the foam in place?) I can only guess that the grille/plastic are somehow contacting and rattling against each other.

This is happening to my left front speaker on B&O unleashed system too. Did you find a good fix?

Curious as well if anyone else has this happened and or a fix? I don’t believe it’s the speaker itself. At first I thought it was blown but if you put pressure on the door it stops the rattle/vibration.

Same with me. Left (driver) front door speaker.

Me too, Rattle at many songs

I am blown away that B&O would put out a system like this

it was a high end brand at one time

When I went to pick up my F-150 in Feb 2021, I brought a thumbstick with some tunes on it to specifically test the B&O Unleashed and I had the same issue in the driver side door speaker when I cranked it passed 20. The Sales Manager was right there to hear it and they pulled in the bay and were prepared to pull a speaker out of a demo truck, but upon removing the door panel it was revealed that the speaker itself was simply not tightened all the way in the mount. It was a simple fix and an error on the assembly and not an issue with the speaker itself.

Something to possibly check into, hope everyone can get to enjoy what the B&O Unleashed is supposed to sound like!

brought my truck to the dealer yesterday as I was having the drivers door speaker rattle as well - They said the speaker was blown so they’re ordering me a new one and it should be in around 3 days. They said it was “mildly” blown and giving them some issues so it was easiest to order a new one
