Hye dudes, my 9300 just arrived and it's sweet. It does have one extremely annoying problem. Whenever i crank the spearkes up, and it doesn't have to be much, just like at the 1/2 way mark, i get this loud and really noticeable rattling noise from somewhere.
Anyone have this problem and perhaps a solution? thx in advance.

I have heard this is common, its the CD drive...hold it still and u wont hear any rattle. I got a replacment laptop because my last one had problems and it rattled...this one has a different cd rom and doesnt buzz

It was my subwoofer for me I had to go into my volume control and turn it down to half way to get it to stop.

I always thought that it was several keys or parts on the keyboard. Anyways, you could try keeping it below a certain volume. Or like someone suggested, I think if you turned down your subwoofer volume (maybe even by 10%), it would get rid of the rattling. And maybe some of the distortion, too.

ok i dont know if this is the problem, but when my speakers use to be up it sounded like there was sord of an echo or something i really dont know how to explain it. anyways, the noise is gone so im not really worrying about it. sry if that didnt help. but i guess u could wait and maybe urs will go also.

I noticed the same thing with my CDRW/DVD drive...but, it only rattles when it's spinning...and even then, only sometimes...I'm going to see if it gets better...if not, dell will be getting a call.

Crack open your laptop and tighten all the screws around the sub woofer and the CD drive. If that doesn't help, get some car audio board deadener (it's a 1/8" thick board with adhesive, not dynamat) and put it around the subwoofer to absorb the vibrations.
