Drop ceiling rattles and buzzes (1 Viewer)

I have a drop ceiling in my lower level and am getting buzzes and rattles during intense LF effect scenes. Am wondering whats the best way short of replacing ceiling to quiet these annoying noises down ?

TIA

Dave,

This is from Armstrong: Clips
Several clip designs are available to suit applications such as fire resistance, wind uplift and impact. Fire-resistance rated designs have exact requirements, including the mandatory use of hold-down clips for acoustical panels or tiles weighing less than 4.9 kg/m2 (1.0 pound per square foot). For rooms with significant air pressure differential from adjacent spaces, retention clips may be necessary to retain panels in place.

I assume these should hold panels tight to the grid, eliminating rattle. No experience with them though.
