Cab Making Rattling/Buzzing Noise??

[Metalman_666]

So I just noticed that my cab has been doing this... my guitar is in D standard at the moment, and whenever I play the low three strings, and just low notes in general I can hear this buzzing sound coming from the cab or the speakers.

It's especially noticable on clean, and with the 2nd fret A (I guess G) string (it actually buzzes the note), although it adds a nasty yet subtle buzz to the sound when I switch to the crunch channel. I'm quite sure this didn't happen when I first got the cab... and I can record clips if anyone wants to hear the sound... any suggestions?

Check all the screws in the amp, tighten em if need be. I had a similar problem with my mesa/boogie cab, turned out that a couple of the nuts holding the speakers in were loose.

i've seen casters make buzzing noises... But ya tighten everything down.. could it be something in the room near the amp buzzing as well? I have an amp that buzzes a little and then disappears, then comes back.... it can be a pain

Buzz Gremlins can be a real pain. Like mentioned above, Tighten EVERYTHING!
If you have the amp in a small bedroom? Take it out to a bigger room And see what happens? Good Luck.

I used some 3 foot pool-hose length, put to the ear...sound silly, but works. You can probe the source real accurate... Works on all sorts of rattles, buzzes, knocks on all sorts of car, home, amp, axe, bed etc sounds.

However, it does not help for the annoying tunes your neighbours are playing repeatedly. You know exactly who's stereo that Shakira's beaming in from....

You've been thoroughly raped by EarCandy cabs.

? I don't follow. Business practices aside this is a very good cab, the only thing is the rattling noise.

You waited 3x the expected wait time, didn't even receive exactly what you ordered (albeit it was refunded), the guy was a total douche the entire time, and then the thing rattles. Sounds like a crappy experience to me .
