2011 Street Glide. Setup is 8 months old. Sony MEX-M70BT, Cerwin Vega B52 amp, and Infinity Kappa 62.11 speakers. Stinger RCAs and ground wire ran to the battery. All wiring is soldered and heat-shrunk. Also have Alloy Art Strong Arm II inner fairing brackets.
Making a strange rattling noise/buzz and sometimes high-pitch whine ONLY on right side speaker. I swapped speaker sides to see if it was a speaker issue and it still only does it on the right side.
Not included in the video is an every-so-often high pitch interference noise. And ALL noise in this video is coming from the speaker itself. It's not my hand hitting the fairing or the inner/outer fairing being loose and hitting themselves.
I'm no expert by any means so hopefully this bump will get the better eyes on your post.
If you swapped the speaker and it stayed on the right side, I'd replace the speaker wire from the amp to the right side next. Others here mention not to solder speaker wires as they eventually rattle apart, try crimp and shrink wrap this time.
