hello guys well after a lot of head-fi research and analyzing options available here in my country I ended getting the AKG K450s well the thing is with some bass frequencies the left speaker vibrates and makes an audible treble noise when i push the left side against my ear the noise sometimes disappear, I don't have any warranty here and the box was closed so they are new, they sound great but sometimes these noise is disturbing grrrrr!!

It might be a loose part, or very likely just a piece of dirt/hair buzzing against the driver. If you can disassemble, take a careful look around. Some compressed air might also be useful.

hello, I just opened them and the driver is in a sealed plastic case so there is no access to it, I used compressed air and made different tests and the noise is still there

it sometimes with some songs and medium volume disappears what a pity

Hi,
 
I believe that Armaegis is probably right about the loose part - if there's rattling and it stops at lower volumes or when you press the speaker in that's what I would have guessed.
