Default survey: driver's side rear door ashtray rattle.

Anyone else notice the ashtray in the driver's side REAR door rattling when they have the Bose pumped up?

Take ashtray out, rattle gone... replace/correctly seated, and rattle comes back. Easily fixed with a tiny piece of high-density foam, but I was wondering if this is a 'feature.'

Default yes...

my A6 2.7T rattled during a few songs with very moderate volume.

I took my car in to my dealer with a CD six-pack loaded and gave them the CD and track numbers that caused problems - <a href="http://195.96.170.63:80/hlfmwgizxph~uronvmt/ifm_oloz_ifm/hlfmwgizxp/61989/16253683/supermarket.prev.mp3">Run Lola Run - Supermarket</a> (@13 secs) was the worst.

The dealer:
1) removed and replaced rear shelf and added some felt strips.
2) removed rear door panels and added some felt strips.
3) ordered a new ashtray for one door - mine was drivers rear side too.

Problem is now gone.
