Posted .Hi EricaW,
While we're glad you like most of the features, we regret to learn about the rattling issue you are experiencing with your Sony SA-SW5. This is definitely not the news we want to hear. Various reasons can cause noise interference to the sound from the subwoofer. To resolve this issue, please follow the troubleshooting steps below:
1. If there is a device nearby that generates electromagnetic waves, such as a wireless LAN or a microwave oven in use, locate the subwoofer and a compatible model apart from it.
2. If there is an obstacle between the subwoofer and a compatible model, move or remove it.
3. Locate the subwoofer and a compatible model as close as possible.
4. Change the [RF Channel] setting to [Off], and then change to [On] again.
5. Switch the network connection of the TV or Blu-ray Disc player from wireless to wired.
6. Change the [Wireless Playback Quality] setting to [Priority on Stable Connection].
7. Reset the speaker system.

Posted .Hi Juliecav, That's fantastic! We're really glad to hear your husband is enjoying the great deeper bass sound of this wireless sufferer. If you are planning to purchase another SAWS5 for your current soundbar, unfortunately, only one subwoofer can be paired with the HT-A5000, HT-A7000, or HT-A9 at a time. Boost the bass of your Sony HT-A9 home theater system, HT-A7000, or HT-A5000 soundbar with the Sony SA-SW5 300 Wireless Subwoofer. It connects to your soundbar or system wirelessly for a quick, easy setup. The subwoofer uses Separated Notch Edge technology to control the stress along the edge of the driver's surround to allow for uniform resonance of the driver, delivering clearer bass sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Not A Fan
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Am not a fan of this subwoofer, it does the job with certain movies, but with most content it’s barely noticeable. It’s way too expensive for the quality of the performance. Sony was clearly trying to compete directly with the Sonos Subs at this price point, but the Sub doesn’t come close. Not a fan
