Help diagnose loose object in door

Past month I started to hear something rolling around inside drivers side door like marbles. The sound is heard accelerating or braking. Tried to isolate the noise and it sounds like something is inside the door or around firewall. Anyone experience similar noise ?

no but shouldn't you be able to take the door panel off and reach in and remove whatever's rolling around?

Drainage Plug

If your door has a round drainage plug at the bottom, remove it and see if whatever is rolling around comes it. It might be a lose fastener, etc.

There's a lot of plastic parts in there that could break off. It's not hard to open the panel. I did it when I replaced the speakers. If you're scared of damaging your door, then look up tool kit at Bavsound. I mostly use the flat plastic piece.
