Getting rattling sound on driver-door speaker at certain low-freq

I hoping this is just a setting but I'm getting this sputtering sound that only seems to happen with I play music that contains low bass rumbling (specifically movie soundtracks). It sounds like something is rattling in the speaker area or certain low freqs allow a loose component to hit resonance. I think its a speaker problem because I would imagine the other speakers would have it also.

Has anyone else heard/seen this? Otherwise, on most music, the sound system is absolutely amazing.

Thanks in advance!!

Thanks for the response! Is it an involved process or something a dealer can take care of in a few hours?

I heard rattles not by the speakers but right below the door handle. When I pressed the leather the rattling stopped. I am going to try to hear if there is rattles near the speakers but it's hard to tell.. Damn rattles :/

Stopped by the dealer today and was told that it is indeed a faulty speaker. However, the speaker is on "national backorder" so they told me to check back with them 2-4 weeks to see if the parts arrived. Thankfully its not that bad.

Thanks for the comments!

They had only two in the warehouse when my speaker was blown. Seems to be a big issue. Seems the system must be a bit to powerful for the speakers they used.
