Passenger side front Tweeter / driver buzzing

[17CivicTypeR_Brian]

So I'm getting a buzzing sound from the front passenger side speakers on bass hits or rides. Anybody that made it go away - what did you do? Tweeters? Drivers? both? Sound deadening?

Me too, hadn't driven the car for a week and took it out last night and that's all I heard.

Yep I notice it above just like 15-volumes. Doesn't take much. I did notice it doesn't seem to do it in the morning as much - maybe the car needs to get warmed up a bit first.

Same is happening for me. I took it to the dealer and all they did was add some paddings, didn’t really solve anything.

I'm thinking about pulling the door trim and driving like that to see if it keeps making the noise or not.

Mine seems to ease when I add pressure around the tweeter area. Something isnt snug enough..

Agreed. Maybe disassembly and reassembly would either tighten it or loosen it enough to stop making noise.

Can you access the tweeter by just removing the door sails?
Not the whole door panel?

Mine seems to be certain frequencies.
Some songs are horrible and other songs are fine at loud volumes.

Same for me.

Not sure about that. Used to be able to do that with 99-00 Si. If I follow the guide for Side Mirror removal, it looks like you pull the door trim, then the tweeter triangles, then the mirror bolts... so by that logic, the door panel comes off first...
but it could just be coincidence that the YouTuber went in that order.

Got ya, looks like you can just pop out the sails... hopefully someone who has done it chimes in to save us from more work!

Ok upon further inspection, it seems like the door trim isn't as tight on the passenger door as it is on the driver door, and that is the source of the buzzing. I'm going to try to replace the clips that hold the door panel on if I can get them...

I have this issue in the driver side. Park and play some music. When you hear the buzz lightly place your finger on the screen and see if it stops. The buzz in mine stops when I touch it. It's pretty annoying.

I noticed that the buzzing is worse when the window isn't up all the way.

I pulled the passenger side door lining (trim) piece off and drove to work today. No buzzing! There is a different rattle/buzz inside the door, but it was probably there all along and just muffled by the door lining.
I haven't decided how to fix the sound yet. The door trim/liner definitely could sit tighter to the door frame. The driver side door is tighter. Maybe I can get new clips from the dealership-

I put the door liner back on and it still doesn't buzz. I turned DNA up to 33 and got speaker distortion, but otherwise no buzzing!
