I'm starting to feel vibrations and some kind of "staticky" sound when I play any videos or music near or at loudest volume. Could it be possibly due to a loose screw? I noticed that on the bottom of my notebook, one screw seems to be slightly looser than the others.
 
Which notebook model is this? Since there is a difference in sound between a 13" and the 15" and 17".

Speakers in Notebooks don't exactly equal a dedicated sound system, they will have limits and especially at full volume your gonna notice those limits.

The vibrations may be higher because the shell isn't fully attached however there are still gonna be some.
 
It's the 17". I noticed the vibrations that weren't there before. I'll be watching the same things on high volume and hear and feel the vibrations.
