Default rattling antenna driving me CRAZY

anytime i go over 30mph or so, my antenna rattles louder than you can imagine. it is perfectly hearable (is that a word?) over my radio when its cranked up. it drives me insane. i tried seeing if there was a bolt to tighten on the bottom end of it below the hood, but i cant really find one. am i overlooking a way to tighten it? does anyone else have this issue? it drives me insane.

just to clarify, im 99% sure its loose, not broken.... im just lookin for a way to tighten it

I think the word would be audable (who knows if I spelled that right )

I think the entire base spinds to tighten it. Maybe I'm wrong and that was on another car [&:]

it should just simply have a six sided bolt like head on it. that's how you tighten it. if that's tight then the mount is loose. had to tighten up the parent's chevy antenna numerous times...
