rattle noises

I know this is an old post but I feel a need to vent.

I have been battling a rattle in my drivers door for about a month now. I installed new speakers about a year ago (may have something to do with it), the rattle started about 10 months later. I have taken my door panel off a dozen times trying to find the source. It is a rattle that shows up if I hit a bump in the road, or drive on rough pavement at the right speed. It is just my luck that there is a rough stretch of road that I have to travel on every day on my way to work.

Last night I took off the door panel, (leaving the window controls attached) and drove in to work this morning and heard the rattle so I know it is the door itself and not the panel. My gut feeling is that it has something to do with the window regulator unit and based on a couple responses above I am going to concentrate on that tonight.

Guess I could take it into the dealership (still under the 3 year, 36000 miles) but I just feel kinda weird about that. I just have the feeling that I will make all the arrangements, drop off my car, and when I go to pick it up they say to me "We could not replicate the rattle".
