Buzzing in top plastic door panels from stereo

Does anyone else notice a buzzing from the plastic door panel tops with mid levels of volume? I have the Pioneer system so that probably is some of the problem.

Can I put something in there to stop it? Simply touching the door panel stops the buzzing.

Yeah, I'll snap one later. It is just the top strip of plastic in the door panel (that the handle is in).

I've never noticed that althought Marie drives the HHR a lot more than I do.

I do have a couple of suggestions you can try though:
1) Turn the radio down! The loud music is rattling your car apart.
2) Turn the radio up! You'll never notice the rattle if you turn the music loud enough.

i have had the radios at a lot of levels, usually listen to it really loud, an i haven't noticed any rattles or bussing from it. Had the bass up all the way testing it out the other night and nothing from that either.

Yeah I have the same issue. When a small amount of pressure is put on the passenger door panel the buzz goes away.

Yeah, I noticed it at first, in the driver's side. Usually it followed the bass in some songs. Lately it seems to have gone away.
