Buzzing in Roll Bar speakers during AudioBook

[dbmcubs21]

I am a novice in vehicle audio. Have the premium audio system in my Overland which I picked up 4 weeks ago. Music sounds great. Just took it on a 3 hour road trip and had an audiobook playing. There was a buzzing/vibrating noise coming from my overhead speakers when the narrator spoke. At first it is not very noticeable but over a 3 hour period it becomes almost impossible to listen to the book with the buzz in your ear.

I don't think there is any way I have blown a speaker as I haven't pushed the limits on volume at all. Any suggestions?

Try the audio book in another vehicle. Could be in the recording.

I listened in my wife's Grand Cherokee about a month ago (same book) and nothing. It seems to be a vibration or frequency issue as I can put my hand up and push on the speaker and it goes away while I hold it. Don't see anything visibly loose though. I am hoping there is an audio setting I can tweak and not have to take it in to get the speaker replaced.

Put a piece of foam between the roll bar and plastic sound bar.

Hey bud. Any luck fixing yours? Mine is doing the same thing when I listen to anything on audible.

Hate to say it, but I haven't gotten around to trying the above mentioned fix and haven't listened to an audio book since. My weekends have been taken over with yard work, Christmas lights, and watching football! Might just wait for warmer weather to attempt this once the top is off and more easily accessible.

I'm battling this very problem. Audible books vibrate the hell out of the soundbar. I've been applying foam to quite a few locations with minimal success so far.
