Driver's window buzz from stereo

Driver's window buzz

I just purchased a 2012 3.8L and am very happy with it. However, I get a regular buzzing and vibration in the driver's window area that is caused by music (particularly bass).

The vibration begins to occur at lower volume levels (beginning around 8 or so) and even if the bass setting is adjusted to the lower threshold.

The vibration is causing me to turn down the music much lower than I would like and therefore, missing out of the richness of the sound system.

Any thoughts or recommendations? Anyone else experienced this?

Just realized this post should probably be in the stereo forum. Replies are still welcome.

Listen to NPR - Diane Rehm never causes window buzzing, and you can learn stuff. I don't listen to music much - I'm a musician and I hear plenty of my own.

I've got the same little buzz. Let me know if the dealer takes care of it and what the fix is. Thanks!

UPDATE: Dealer fixed the problem at my first service visit. The tech took apart the window panel said it was the "window regulator". He said it was much louder once he took the panel off. He replaced that part and the buzzing is now gone.
