I purchased this car used in April, and ever since I've had it, there has been this annoying buzz or vibration in the (I believe) left front tweeter in the door pillar. It's only noticeable listening to speech (talk radio). More noticeable on AM than FM.
It's like the speaker resonates at certain frequencies.
First time a took it in, Dealer acknowledged the problem and replaed the center speaker in the dash. They said it was cracked. OK fine, but didn't solve the problem. I took it back, again the dealer acknowledged the problem and replaced the left front tweeter, I still have the problem!
Has anyone experienced this before? The next step accoring to the dealer is to bring it back in and start replacing speakers one at a time. I don't think this is the best course of action, even though it is under warranty.
I appreciate any thoughts.

If it is under warranty that is really the best way to do it, but don't let the car leave
the dealer. Have them call you after each one is done to see if they have solved it.
Once all the speakers are replaced they may have to replace an amplifier.

And I hate to even imply this, but do we really know if they changed them at all in the first
place? I always ask to inspect the old parts even if it is a warranty item when going to
the dealer.

Isolate area of concern (i.e.: balance/fader) if indeed found to be the left front tweeter unclip triangle cover for DIY inspection. You may also want switch between sound functions by pressing "Sound” softkey."

Great advice!

Followed advice

I played with the sound settings, speech, standard. There is some difference, but nut much. I threw the fader all the way to the back, I thought no sound at was coming from the front speakers. I left it that way for a bit, and the darn noise was still evident from the fron spreaker.
I don't know, but it seems worse some day than others. I'm starting to wonder if it's more of a problem in the cold. The trouble is that it is definitely frequency related. when I take it to the dealer, there isn't always the right frequency speech in the radio. Hmm. Maybe I can download some spoken MP3 file...

I had the same issue.

Except it was in the the rear drivers side door.

My dealer had sent the car to a body shop for paint work. ( don't ask, they scratched it.) I assume the door was disassembled because the handle was coming off in my hand and the speaker was buzzing. After a return trip and debating over who was responsible they fixed it.

The less contact with the service dept the better.
