Driver's window buzz from stereo

[PaulSW]

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?

Sounds like you may have a blown speaker in the door. I would bring it to the dealer and have it checked out.

FYI, 8 is not a low volume level. ,-)

Take it to dealer.

The volume scale on the car is 0-35, so the 8 is relatively low. (if we were talking 0-10 scale or even 11 if you are a Spinal Tap fan, then you would be right).

I think this an issue on all Genesis, I hear it in my car (vibration in the window and such) and also heard it in a brand new R-Spec when I was testing it out from the same song that had the certain bass that triggered it.

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.
