I have just noticed an annoying noice that i want to try to get rid of. Even with not that much bass turned up, it really rattles and you can hear it with the windows up. Is there any way to quiet this? thanks

Sorry I did not explain more. Its both outside mirrors next to the front doors. It is the actual mirror and frame of the mirror. Im wondering if the rattle can be stopped?

you may have dismantle your mirrors to see if you can apply some sort of sound deadening material like dynamat, or live with it.

I actually have a similar problem w/ my rear view mirror. it resonates at certain tones, and it goes away if I even barely put my pinky on it.

not what canbe done w/ that, but would appreciate suggestions. its in a 03 malibu.

Good advice saying that it rattles when i have my alpine h/u at 10 out of 35. I guess I will try to take the mirror off and put some dynamat on it. Any other suggestions?
