Bass is distortion on my play 1!

I have adjusted the bass and treble setting on the sonos equalise within the app and uncheck the loudness option but it does not change the bass distortion I hear during play back of some songs, in particular dance tunes. I have two plays 1's and the others fine, any suggestions.

    I tried the reset on the play 1 but the bass is still vibrating and distorted. I have reduced the treble and base on my iPod touch/ iPhone 5 and via the sonos app. This there a contact number I could phone to see if we can correct the issues. I wouldn't be able to send a diagnostic report as it's an internal hardware problem and not software.

    Thank you buzz, I'm not sure if banging helped, but I will definetly look into hanging my Play1 speakers, as the surfaces on which they sit are vibrating.
