Not sure of term but I notice some distortion/vibration coming out the speaker port?


First off...I know that you don’t listen to speakers this way! 😜

However when listening to my speakers at a decent level if I go the the back of them in one speaker coming out of the port I hear a little vibrations/distortion sound?

I cannot hear this when listening at my MLP but wanted to see what you guys though. 
Does it sound like my speakers bolts need tightening?
So I need more wadding?

Am I listening to loud?

If it’s a mechanical noise, it could many things but one of them is unsecured wires vibrating from the air movement due to the port.

If it’s a "flutter" then it could be either chuffing or an air leak. I once had a small air leak underneath the flange of a port and it sounded almost like the wingbeats of a huge insect.
