Default Driver side window static sound when low bass music played

Does anybody experience some static sound from the driver side window when the cd/radio play some low bass music? It's not too loud but noticeably annoy when it's there. It seems only happen when in mid to high speed.

Did bring the car to dealership to check/fix. They said that they re-affix the speakers inside the driver door to make sure it attach firmly. But the problem did not go away.

Default I'm assuming static could mean rattle?

and I find that if I have things in the door pocket they will rattle during bass portions of a song.

Default Not really rattle but on/off static sound

It does not really like rattle sound. It's like the sound when bugs hit your windows shield during the night driving in highway. It really sounds like static sound, not continuously but on and off for a while.

You might want to play and adjust with balance of the sound (i.e. left and right speakers).

When I first picked up my new Q7, it has the static on the passenger side. And yes, it was on and off. And the static is VERY annoying, sounded as if there was a microphone on front of the speakers.

Later on brought it in, they had to replace several speakers and amplifier at the front of the car.

It is definitely the sound of a speaker.

I had same issue - sent it in and was advised issue fixed. It has returned though...not an issue for me at the moment. I will mention this issue when the car is in for its service.

I had the same issue in my previous GX470. It turn out to be a things in door pocket and armrest where CDs without sleeve rattle with the music on. As soon as I surround them with sleeves
the rattle/static stopped.
