[SOLVED] Speaker Rattling

On certain audio - most often when listening to someone speak - my right speaker rattles lightly. I reached out to Logitech since the speakers are still under warranty and was able to get a replacement, while still being able to keep the original speaker set. After troubleshooting multiple setups (changing out the right speaker, trying different cables, plugging the speaker's USB input to different ports, trying different wall outlets for the power source, etc.) I am still getting the rattle out of the right speaker.

Is this possibly an issue with my PC and not the speaker themselves? Any other ideas to try are most welcomed.

Additional info: I recently purchased a new PC from CyberPower PC as well as all new accessories/hardware. Speakers are the Logitech G560s.
 
Solution
it could be the speaker is shaking or vibrating this particular section of the desk and causing itself to "rattle".

i had a similar issue with my subwoofer causing a desk leg to shake that in turn shook the subwoofer's box that was sitting up against it causing a "rattle" type sound with heavy bass.
moving the box ~6" away fixed it.

try placing the speaker elsewhere
and\or try placing a rubber or plastic mat or thick mouse pad under it.

Hey John,

Thanks for the reply. I was really hoping it would be a simple fix but unfortunately, no luck here. I tried on several different surfaces (a stack of paper, towels, other parts of the desk, my laptop, my hand) and the rattle persists just the same.

Can you try another audio source into the speakers as opposed to just computer audio?
Hey dudio,

Thanks for your reply. So I tried the speakers on my laptop (since they connect via USB). Rattle still exists.

I then connected my laptop to my wife's speakers which are the same exact type and I didn't notice the rattle. So, it seems to me as though both sets of speakers that Logitech sent me for my computer have the rattling issue. Maybe I can get Logitech to send me a 3rd replacement set and see if the issue persists :x
