Power cycle all of your gear, DCing it from the wall as well for a moment.
Me? Daily power off for me, and issue is pretty much daily and again, absolutely no issue with other headphones. And when wiring the right driver instead of the left, there's no distortion at all, clean sweep! So it's really on the left driver...

Yup, I thought your L/R description sounded like a driver or an ear mismatch. Which is it, rattling or distortion?
Likely both. Something vibrating and causing audible distortion with certain frequencies. I've uploaded a video where you can hear it, sweep is a bit loud given the mic sensitivity & proximity..

Also I just noticed that it seems affected by the pad's pressure... 200-300hz seemed to go away, but if I push out on the headphone's pad to put some distance between it and my ear, the 300hz noise is back with a vengeance. So likely something between the pads & drivers vibrating & causing distortion... Oh well, replacing!
