Just tighten down the housing.

I have the same issue. Did they come up with a fix yet? My dealership want to see if it gets worse because they can't hear it. it happens a lot when it's talk radio or music with a lot of base.

All they need to do is tighten the speaker housing.

Took mine in last week. Was told there was nothing wrong with it /there was nothing they could do.

It is a simple fix. Just tighten down the speaker housing. Have them call SM Jeep.

Yes - exactly - talk radio especially. I also have some weird vibration around the steering wheel underside (I THINK that’s where it is) due to the radio sound but cannot find it. Not as concerned about that as I can fix it once i figure out what it is

It's a simple fix. Tighten down the speaker housing.

I just got my JLUR and am about 850 miles in. I listen to audio books all the time and I definitely noticed speaker rattle on the 8.4" Infotainment option speakers.

Bring the car in and tell them it was a production assemble problem and the fix is just tighten down the speaker housing.

I noticed every now and again, but chocked it up to me turning up the BASS when listening to music. Only actually notice it when listening to Podcasts on iPhone.

On, iPhone X, wonder if it is trying to enhance bass.

Take it back to the dealership and tell them to tighten down the speaker housing. A simple fix. Just have them call Mark (Service) at Santa Monica Jeep

In another thread they laid out, including photos, that the culprit of the vibration was either of two small electrical plugs that are way the F down there under the dashboard. Simply stick some tape/foam/a folded business card in there to stop the connector(s) from vibrating and you're done.

The following fixed my speaker rattle:

Original source of info, thanks DaveK: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/charlie-brown-audio-sound.17229/#post-426005

1. To replicate the problem visit this youtube video, plug your phone into the aux in audio port. It will play a 145 hz tone for about 1 minute. You have keep hitting replay because it is only 1 minute long.

2. In the uConnect audio setting change it to back right, back left, right front to hear how it should sound. Change it to the left front and BINGO! super rattle kicks in.

3. Next to the ODBII port, you will find a few connectors (see picture below). Tap on the cable harness coming from each one until you hear the rattle sound go in/out. Then isolate to which set of wires. Push that set of wires up slightly, hold it, rattle goes away. Get a cable tie to hold it in that position. Done!
