Turbo the bass down? Lol. My subs make my rear view mirror slowly move direction if I ever have it turned all the way up. All kidding aside. I have no idea... my bad.

I took my car to the dealer and the service guys said there is nothing they can do since it's coming from the bass. I think it's BS because only the driver side door rattles and not the passenger side.

suggestions?

Sounds like a tolerance issue with the mount of the handle allowing it to move a tiny bit more than normal.

Maybe try to take apart the assembly a bit and glue a tiny piece of felt in there somewhere near the hinge where it moves.

Service center said there's nothing loose and there's nothing they can do about it.
I slipped a piece of black velcro in the gap between the door handle and the door and that greatly reduced the rattling
