I've been noticing this a lot more as of late. I will get a lot of continuous vibrations on both the driver and passenger side doors while driving. The vibrations intensify even more when I have music playing (in this case, I don't think it helps that I have the premium sound system). The only solution I have as of now is to press againts the main pad of the door. This stops the vibrations entirely. Obviously, I can't always drive this way, so it's a poor solution. I thought there might be something loose or broken inside the doors, so I took both panels off. Unfortunately, everything was in place and all screws/nuts were tight. My only thought is to install some sound dampening material inside like this user did:

I'm kind of skeptical of its success though, as my vibrations are from both road and music. Would the sound dampener material work to my benefit both ways? Thanks for the help.

One potential source of audible vibration is the outer door skin contacting the door reinforcement, which sits between the two metal door panels. I isolated it by pressing on the outside door panel to feel and partially silence the vibration, then figured out exactly where the contact occurred by stuffing my hand (painfully) behind the reinforcement.

Ended up jamming a synthetic, closed-cell sponge piece into the appropriate spot; no problems for the last eight years.
