Door rattle when bass hits

Anyone notice any massive door rattle when low frequency hits from the bass? seems to be coming from the aluminum trim midsection from the seating memory buttons. However when i hold pressure on it with my fist the rattle is gone completely....

This only happens when i play music with some bass in it,

should I take it to the dealer?

You should lower your music or even better, get some sound dampening in your front doors. It will stop the rattling and also make you music sound better.

Yes it will. It's not a defect that they can fix at the dealership. Proper sound dampening will fix almost all squeaks and rattles.

do you have anything in the door holder thing, where you store water/paper/other stuff?

if so, remove it then try it cranking the music again.

Thats what I thought at first. But I removed everything from there... it seems to be coming from either inside the door, or the part where the brushed aluminum trimming meets the vinyl, cause when i push and put pressure on it, the rattle is COMPELTELY gone...

Dynamat sounds like a good idea, I'll have to read up on how to install it. Thanks for that suggestion

If anyone has any other ideas or fixed it in some way, let me know.

I get the rattles from my doors, but only when I have a water bottle stored there... otherwise, its usually good.

I have it pretty bad during certain low-frequency bass notes. It never comes or goes, it's always there, but only to very specific frequencies so I haven't bothered messing with it. Let me know if anyone finds anything that works!!
