seventeenmonkeys Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 i own a paradigm pw2200 which i have placed on the right side of my right main speaker, and is stuck in the corner of the room. a wall is directly behind it where the top half of the wall is a window. also on the far right of the same wall the is a door. my problem is that at certain times the window starts to shake which makes an annoying sound, and at others the door start to shake. the problem is that it doesn't seem to take much to shake any of these, although they never shake at the same time but i believe at different frequencies. the door was pretty to fix by putting rubber pads on the corners but the windows are sliding windows and i don't see how i could stop them from shaking without preventing them form opening. any advice?

jtkinney Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Try using foam tape or foam weatherstriping from Home Depot for the window. If that doesn't work, I'm with Keith, Duct Tape.

pierceb Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 Get new windows if you can't stand the tape, I'm not kidding. That's what I'm doing (I just ordered all new windows for the entire house last week). I considered it the most important upgrade to my system. Boy is it gonna be nice with no more rattling and shaking. -PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6 Driver Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 How about an equalizer? Doesn't SVS offer something of sorts? That's my uneducated guess. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 There are actually glass tuning devices from Marigo Labs (I think) that supposedly improve the sound by changing the resonance of windows. If it is the glass shaking and not the frames, you might try this very odd sounding tweek: take a quarter and tape it to the window that shakes. You might have to move it around to various positions on the glass. I know you think this is absolutely nuts, but hey, it only costs a quarter and you get your money back if not satisfied.

seventeenmonkeys Posted September 18, 2002 Author Share Posted September 18, 2002 i don't get how an equalizer will solve my problem? and where would the duct tape go. they're sliding windows (left to right and vie versa). i think it sound like the windows thenselves are making the noise and vibrate. i'm actually going right now to look at what exactly is making the sound.
