So I have noticed that i get a lot of rattle in the back when the volume is cranked up, i never had this issue before when the car was new, now all of a sudden it sounds like a cracking, or somethings loose in the back and if I blast music all I hear in the back is the rattle/loose/metal on metal contact noise.
View 1 RepliesI just bought a used 2013 accent gls with 22k miles.
While the sound from the front is sort of OK, the sound from both of the rear door speakers is very low and muffled.
I have to set the fader control almost all the way to the back to hear them, and then the sound is very weak all around with no treble.
There is also almost no bass whatsoever from any of the speakers. I know what to expect from a lower end factory system and have heard other hyundais that sound pretty good. I have tried setting the bass control all the way up (and down) and tried changing the "P-bass" settings but nothing works.
Is this normal for this car? I have not listened to any other accent stereos. I really like everything else about this car besides the stereo so far.
Having front speaker cover rattle in new Camry? I have a 2012 SE 4 Cylinder. The rattle was driving me nuts for a while and I've located it in a loose left front speaker cover.
Not sure if I want to take it to the dealer or fix it myself. Thinking of maybe just jamming something that's small in there to tighten it or taking it off and having a look...
So I have finally solved the rattle that has been seemingly coming from my driver side dash speaker. I'm not exactly sure which of the 3 things I did fixed it, but it's fixed.
First, I removed the 2 10mm bolts securing the speaker and removed the wiring harness. I noticed that there are 2 metal clips that those bolts screw into and they are loose, so I took some electrical tape and just taped over them to keep them from rattling.
Next, I found the wire for the speaker has a plastic shroud around it that is very stiff and could make noise, so I wrapped that with electrical tape as well.
Finally, the thing that was most likely the cause of the rattle was a loose wiring harness attached to the firewall. If you reach into the speaker hole you will feel the harness just under the hole. Where the harness is attached to the firewall it was extremely loose. I simply took a paper towel and was able to wedge it behind the harness and the firewall which kept it from moving.
Now the driver side rattle is gone, but I've noticed another rattle somewhere else near the center/passenger side of the dash. Every time I fix one rattle I seem to find another. Maybe I'm being a little OCD about it.
The rear speaker volume in my 2010 RX 350 is very low. They produce sound but can only be heard when I put the balance almost completely in the rear. I prefer not to pay hundreds to the dealer and then possibly be told that I need to go to an audio specialist.

I have a rattle from the rear of my car that I have been trying to identify for 6+ months. It only happens when the car is travelling above 60+ mph. The sound is hard to describe but it sounds like metallic or glass clicking. It is not loud (about a 2 or 3) but it is persistent and driving me crazy (literally, it's not loud but on a long drive gets so annoying).
I have sat in the back seat and it seems to come from the rear of the car (deck, glass, trunk). Been to the dealership several times. They replaced the middle seatbelt and housing to no avail. They have taped down every rod in and metal piece in the trunk. I have laid insulation in the trunk panel and around the spare tire. I have sat with the seat down and reached into the trunk to touch the trunk inside roof while the car is moving to find what is rattling. No one thing I can put my hand on stops the rattling.
Is it possible that its air flow hitting something on my car? I seem to think so because it only happens at highway speeds. But what is making the noise? Wouldn't two physical objects be tapping against each other somewhere?
Is is structural? Like the whole car is vibrating and the entire rear window is clicking against the car somehow? I have literally sat in the back seat for an hour with my ear everywhere and I can't seem to find the problem. I have taped and insulated everything I can think of and I have been to the dealer so many times I think they roll their eyes at me now.
I would love to say this sound is small and doesn't me but it does. When music is playing you cant really hear it but as soon as it stop it is there and persistent.
Have been to dealer multiple times with concerns about speaker vibration from rear passenger door and rattle when going over rough spots from same general area. They end up saying they have not heard anything and I end up feeling like I am losing my mind. Does seem to be worse some times than others. Last weekend I opened the door and tapped the area around the base speaker. Lo and behold, sounds like there is something loose in there. Seems like it is moving around freely at times and may be caught somewhere and thus quiet at other times. What might be in there? Any easy way of getting at it on my own?
View 24 RepliesBeen having issues lately. Like I open the door and lights inside won't come on until the engine is cranked. Clock on dash resets. Then just yesterday I go to start it and get nothing. Checked battery connection and they are tight. What it could be. It's at the dealer being checked out. Probably will get the dreaded couldn't reproduce the problem.
View 1 RepliesI have a 2012 Prius V and the rear speaker(s) hardly put out any sound. When I balance the system to get more output in the rear, I get hardly any sound in the frount. Is there an individual speaker adjustment? Is this normal or do I have defective speaker(s)?
View 3 Repliesi have a 2012 toyota camry with the 10 speaker JBL system, i am trying to find which harness is the one for the speaker wires. i saw on youtube it says there are two sockets for the speaker wires (one for rear and one for the front) i think this is for the regular radio.
I don't see that on my camry. There is one long socket though, but there's TWO wires of red, and two of purple, so I don't know which one to go with.
I'm not fully satisfied with the quality of sound - especially from rear speakers. The sound from rear is much inferior to the sound from front speakers. I'm NOT looking at replacing the factory stereo.

View 1 RepliesMy wife have a 14 Corolla LE Plus, no NAV and every time I get a text message it pop up on the screen and I can play the read out message over the car speaker system.
On my Camry it does not do this. I have NAV with the 7" screen. I try matching the setting of my Camry to the Corolla and it seen to be the same but still it does not ready out the message or even pop up when I get a text message.
My IPhone 5 is paired with the car that I know that for sure, all my phone book contacts and phone work just fine even play music from my phone. I can't find anything in the manual.
Picked up my new ride yesterday, 2012 F-150 STX tuxedo black, supercab
4x4, 3.55 e-locker, 5.0l. It is one nice ride but it already has a blown speaker rear drivers side which is frustrating, I see this is a common issue with these trucks. Just hope it is not a recurring thing. But still a great truck.
I hear faint rattling from what looks like a center speaker grill on the dash (behind my sensor for DRL) when I press down on it, the noise goes away. What is the purpose of that center grill?
View 2 RepliesI have a 2012 toyota camry with the JBL system. i replaced one of my factory door woofers with a aftermarket one. i cranked the volume up to the loudest, and then suddenly all the sounds going to all my speakers went dead.
I tried checking all the fuses that i saw said "Audio system" in both my engine bay and my driver instrument. Nothing was burnt out. even tried disconnecting the battery.
When i try to turn up or turn down the volume, no numbers show up. (showing which volume setting its at) its just blank.
Even tried the steering wheel volume control. I really don't know what else to check.
Or am I just missing it? Seems kind of crazy that you have to adjust the volume for the radio and navigation separately, with no option to control both at the same. This is on a 2013 SE with the non-hdd setup.
View 5 RepliesI have a 2012 Camry LE and I always use bluetooth connectivity between my iPhone 6S and the car. I use an online radio app called "Tambura" (similar to pandora but something which caters to Indian Hindi songs). Now I also use my phone as a GPS navigation device on need basis. The problem I am facing is that, whenever I am listening to music using the radio app in my camry's speakers with volume on around 15-20, whenever the Google maps voice says something like "take next exit" or whatever, it is almost inaudible. I expect the sound to be on same level as my music but that does not happen.
View 3 RepliesTaking this part out of their truck, my speaker is cracking bad at low volume, thinking maybe I can play with the wires some.
Just wondering if there is any clips on this part, before I knock off a six pack and go caveman on it.
Experiencing a really bad rattle after changing the oil? It sounds like the chain tensioners are losing pressure during the oil change.
View 11 RepliesThis noise is driving me crazy and i can't find out what's making it. When I go around a tight corner, I get a sound that sounds like a small metal ball rolling across thin metal. It almost sounds like what I imagine a ball bearing rolling around in an aluminum roasting pan would sound like.
It's coming from the general area of the driver's seat. It's not very loud, but loud enough that it's driving me nuts. Something is definitely rolling around somewhere, but where to start looking.
What it might be or where to start looking? I'm tempted to pull up the carpet and see if anything got under there, but I doubt there's enough room between the carpet and floorpan for something to roll around this freely.
