Royal 160MX rattles? Is this normal or did mine possibly get damaged during delivery?

I just received my Royal 160MX, and the box was pretty banged up. There's definitely some kind of rattling noise. It's working fine though, but the rattling made me wonder the same thing... if it had arrived broken. So, I guess if you had the same problem and it's still working for you since 2009, I guess it's normal, huh?

I have never had any rattling issue. My copy is very solid, plus the lock keeps it from "zoom creeping", although that has never been an issue either because the zoom ring is fairly tight to turn.

Mine only rattles if it's not snapped down all the way. As long as the two side pegs are seated completely when down it is quiet.

If something is loose inside, the rattling is that there's a piece of something rolling around and vibrating in there. You can try shaking it when it's off and see if you hear anything. If you are out of warrenty or return time, just take a screwdriver and open it up, shake out whatever is loose inside, put it back together and see if it helps.

I didn't hear anything rattle. Just when we move the unit further away from the phone the music will skip. But Lepow customer service is pretty awesome, after I posted my issue, someone called me right away and sent me a new unit. You should update your complaint and maybe someone will reachout.Good luckRamiro

I haven't noticed any rattling. Have had these installed for some time. Only complaint I have is they have moved some when I use tie down straps.

I don't think rattling is good. I'd take it to a camera repair shop that you trust.

I never noticed mine vibrating. It may be an issue but I can't say with any certainty.

I've had mine for roughly two years and have never had a problem with squeaking or anything else for that matter (after the intitial installation problems were worked out). I would call for service, hopefully still covered by a warranty.

This sounds like a defect. My unit is very stable and in normal use has been extremely quiet. Maybe yous has been damaged during shipment?

I get a little rattle sometimes. It doesn't seem to be bad or last long. Hope it's alright!

I just shook mine and there was no rattle. Sorry but I suspect something is amis with yours.

I just walked over and shook ours. I don't hear anything. No... perhaps you should exchange yours for a new one.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

Send it back. You shouldn't hear any parts rattling. It's not a heavy duty blender. Mine started smoking after about a minute of use blending smoothies.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

First, no - that's not normal. I'm not sure how large the thing is you hear moving around but it may be insulation, a speaker wire or a lose cross over. Either way I would suggest you take advantage of Amazon's generous return policy and either return then for a refund or replacement pair. That rattle will show up while playing music especially at higher volumes.
