2024+ Soundbar Rattle

[MikeNH]

I have a 2024 Mojave and it had been at the dealer for numerous issues Monday and one of these was I heard rattling like a blown speaker from what I thought was the subwoofer (I have the Alpine stereo). The service manager said the tech tested and found the noise was actually the soundbar, not the sub and since it made the sound when the balance was set to left and right, he ordered a whole new soundbar that is on back order currently.

Of course now that they mentioned that, it became clear to me the noise was just over my right shoulder so tonight I pulled the speaker cover and found the map light was loose. Tightened those screws and the issue seems to be gone. I’ll give it a bit more time to be sure but if you think you have a blown speaker in there check those map lights!

I was just about to post this very same issue. I only have 6,000 miles on my 2024 and my map light was buzzing with the bass, and seemingly getting worse. Initially, I thought the buzzing was inside the speakers but recently zeroed in on the map light.

Before unscrewing all the torx head screws on the sound bar, to disassemble the bar, I decided to check if they were secure and sure enough, the screw right in front of the map light was a half turn loose. Resolved!
