IM5
Heyo! I got my IM5 a few weeks ago and been loving it but i've run into a bit of a self inflicted problem. I'm an undiagnosed bass booster and I love a thumpy track. Unfortunately this means I've discovered a bit of a rattle of the passenger side front door trims.
Anyone else been having this issue or have suggestion to resolve it that don't require me to forgo my addiction? Just for context while the eq is trained to be bass heavy, the door is rattling at 30% volume
 
I have the rattle/vibration too!

However I hear it just driving normally.

Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side b pillar where the seat belt mechanism is.

I had similar in a Passat, where the lower door panel, where the woofer was placed, rattled. The plastic was simply not rigid enough, and vidrated like crazy. I fixed it by removing the panel, and reinforced it with bytul/bitumen damping mat, to add weight and stiffness, then I glued on a piece of styrofoam that was just slightly deeper than the space behind the cover and the metal wall of the door, so the panel had more structural support.
Dunno if that would be possible on the IM5, but it's something to consider.
