Sub Gen 3 case rattling at very low frequencies

I was watching a television show with a lot of very low base and noticed that I was hearing quite a bit of rattling. I thought maybe it was the surrounding furniture or even the walls but after moving the sub around it appears to be the plastic shell of the subwoofer itself. Additionally, when I press against the sides it creaks noticeably. Is this a defective unit? Cheers

Is it new?

I’ve never heard a rattle out of mine

Had it a little over a month. Never noticed it to rattle until the other day. Once I heard it I couldn’t unhear it

Return it if you can. Had mine for almost three years and never heard a rattle. Do you have it turned all the way up.

Another post had a rattle and found a pingpong ball in one of the recessed bass tracts. Other than that possibility not normal and should be covered under warranty, since it’s not normal.
