I had a buzz when turning the bass up at all, I ended up stuffing an old towel in the overhead including the lamp holder, just pushing the towell towards the center of the soundbar and filling it up. It cleared up the buzz an my radio now has a lot more bass. It thumps pretty good now.

Id replace that towel with some actually polyfil sometime in the not too distant future. I’m sure it works fine but it’ll cling to moisture and bacteria. That’s going to be a thing if in there long term. Polyfil is usually anti microbial and meant for dark places that have a high probability of getting damp.

My sound bar used to rattle like crazy. I have the base sound system. Got tired of looking for loose screws and tucking foam in places.

Turned the bass down to zero and put a powered sub behind the back seat.

Now I have bass and no speaker bar rattles.
