Default Rattling in Bose Symphony speakers, any recommendations

After purchasing my 2001 2.7T I started hearing a small rattling from the rear driver side speaker. The only way is goes away is if there is pressure on the door near the speaker and on top of that it only is audible at certain frequencies. Is there any way to fix this noise without having to replace the speaker and pay the 600 charge???
thanks
Jesse

Default Remove the door card and see if you can ascertain whether it's the speaker or trim

Maybe you'll be lucky and you just need to tighten up the speaker or stick some Dynamat (sound deadening) round it.
If it was a blown speaker it would rattle all the time.

a blown speaker can rattle at only certain frequencies, say certain guitar notes

Yes but as he said pushing on the trim stops it, blown speakers can't be cured that easily
