Bass rattle

[Futurevet93]

Hello, I know this issue has been presented a few times, but I think I may be experiencing a new issue with my significant bass rattle during bass heavy music. Since getting my car at the beginning of January (2025 Lucid Air Touring), I’ve noticed a horrid bass rattle whenever the music is at a higher volume. In the attached video you’ll see an example of the unusual sound the bass makes whenever the music is at higher levels. Now this isn’t generally how I listen to music or the type of music I regularly listen to, but I wanted to show an extreme example of the rattle that occurs with a very bass heavy song. This rattle sound usually occurs any time the music is set to over 50%. This occurs whether the bass is at 0 or +5 on the equalizer setting. No matter how much I’ve played with the settings, it never fails to rattle above a certain volume. Now I’ve noticed it’s more prominent when using Apple play music, and I think this is in part to how the Apple Music causes the volume to play louder, but it’s also occurred outside of Apple Music. Now one could argue that music listening shouldnt be that loud, but my counter argument would be this- for a vehicle at this price point, no matter the volume, type of music, or setting, it should still function appropriately, and this shouldn’t occur. For reference, what you’re seeing in the video is the back liner pulled down to show the rear bass speaker in operation. Please let me know if this is something anyone else has seen or experienced, because it’s driving me crazy. I had the vehicle checked by lucid, and they chalked it up to a software issue, but I’m not confident with that answer. A software issue shouldn’t cause the bass to make this sound right? I already tried putting spacers between the rear deck and the glass, as that has been suggested before, but the issue still occurs. I think it may be an issue with the speaker itself? The vehicle is equipped with SS not the pro.

Despite this unfortunate issue, I still thoroughly enjoy my lucid and don’t regret purchasing this vehicle. Thanks in advance!

Here is the video that I uploaded to YouTube in case the link didn’t work. I believe YouTube is listed as one of the accepted methods to upload a video.

Almost sounds like a blown speaker. I would definitely call service on that.

I am on my 3rd subwoofer (regular SS) after the last two were blown and I don't even listen to music that loudly.
