Check for loose mpounting bolts of the speaker itself. One unit I found had a Tolex covered back closure that was vibrating. Had to put a cleat in to secure it to the wall below it. Also check for wires that are unsecured.

    after tightening all screws and feeling pretty helpless, i opened the thing up. somewhere on the web i'd read stuff about 'crappy baffle design' and 'loose circuit board'.

    pulled out the amplifier casing. Cut an eraser to make a tight fit between the circuit board and the casing. stuck it there.

    took some duct tape and put pieces along the periphery of the casing, wherever i thought i could possibly rattle against the chassis of the amp. Put the amp casing back in. it was a snug fit. Tightened all screws. Tightened the screws holding the speaker in place as well. Now its perfect. No rattle. Hope this works for you too =)

Woofer rattles at low volume...when i turn it up it sounds pretty good...still has bass and highs
May be a couple of things; The first is a resonance in the cabinet, which may not be noticeable at high volumes. If the speaker cabinet was ever dropped,or got cracked from dropping , dry weather,or whatever, there may be certain frequencies that make the cabinet rattle. Try holding the cabinet when it rattles and look for anything loose,from a side wall to a loose foot, or the speaker itself. Tighten up loose items and seal any gaps or cracks On the cabinet.
The other problem could be a partially blown speaker. Test by lightly pushing in on the outsides of the speaker to see if it moves in and out freely. If there is a scratching sound, or it drags slightly , it might be blown. Also,the dust cap or another part of the speaker may be loose. Check that, and reseal if loose. Replace or have reconed if blown.

Adam a7 rattle
"Rattle" can be a couple of different things- a blown driver, a loose screw, a loose component on the board, etc. Best get it looked at by a serviceman.

JRX125...there was a rattle/noise that indicated blown driver on midrange horn...replaced drivers, noise still occurs. discovered loose 1/4 in jack to tip of plug...tightened fit, but didn't trust...
The noise MIGHT be a resonance in the cabinet. The way to find out is to sweep a frequency upward to see if something rattles at certain frequencies... Don't be surprised to find several. Within the cabinet are the usual culprits: Wires rattling against the cabinet, loose debris, grilles and the logos on them, circuit boards with crossover hardware, cabinet wood that is not glued and rattles against itself. Things like bass port tubes can rattle.
Find an audio generator and sweep the cabinet from 50Hz to 10KHz and you will be surprised. Some speakers may have resonances as well. Expect things in your room to start rattling as well.
This is really the only way to find the problem. PLEASE wear hearing protectors at levels above 90Db.

Hey, I have had used the Roland PD8's for a while but recently 2 of mine have just stopped working. Maybe I hit them too hard but I'm not sure because the rest of my pads work. One will work if I hit it...
Check the connections on the undersides of the pads--they sometimes get loose as the vibrations rattle them around. Tighten the nuts that hold the pads inputs in place and reinsert the cables until they sort of "click." If that doesn't work, it might be the cables themselves, so try switching them with one you know is currently working. It'll change which sound is triggered where, but you'll know it's just the cables that need to be replaced, not the pads.

Bass drum rattles when played
You need to get your drums tuned every so often by a pro at a music store. Could also be caused by some debris in the drum or a broken or loose piece of hardware.

There is a loose part in my Mini-Colossal that causes a slight rattling when playing a middle E. The rattling subsides when applying slight pressure to the power amp tube. I?ve since replaced the tubes,...
If this is a vacuum tube unit, SOME vacuum tubes will have spacers within them that can rattle. You cannot get into the tube of course to correct the problem. Replacing the tube MIGHT find one that does not have the loose parts in it.

Loose keys on my wonderful Technics digital piano
You would be very surprised of how few moving parts are in side one of these keyboards. There is no fix to the action,trust me. play the day lights out of it until it stops then get a new one. Have some fun and explore, if you find an old one that is shot, take it a part and you will see what I mean. These units are really a disposable instrument.
I hope this doesn't disappoint you . I hope it helped. Keep on rockin in the free world. DFD
