The rubber is fitted around the subwoofer speaker.  It plays rule very important for our subwoofer. sometimes this rubber is broken/torn on the sides of the cone. It creates rattling in the subwoofer. When it is broken then we should change the rubber.

Some people like loud voices and bass. They do cross the limit of volume from the subwoofer box. The subwoofer is more affected when the volume is out of the limit so it lost its original performance and becomes the cause of rattling. We should be limited to volume. I think it can become the main reason for the rattling of the subwoofer box.

Subwoofer Rattles on Certain Songs?

When you listen to songs, please check your song’s qualities. for example, 4K video songs have good voice quality than HD songs. And some songs do have not good volume then try to listen to another song on the subwoofer. so that you may avoid rattling the subwoofer.
