Default Door Lock Mechanism Rattle

So, yeah. Basically all the metal wires in the door that control the locking mechanism rattle all to hell when I close it (or slam it). The mechanism is secure and the bolts that go through the door's frame are tight, but it seems all the hinges in there that I can't figure out how to tighten up shake and rattle like crazy. I think most of it is from the keyhole to the lock, although there's quite a bit from the lock to the door handle latch as well.

Anyone got any tips on this? It makes me feel like my car is a bucket of bolts every time I get in or out of it.

Thanks.

Edit: This is the driver's side door. Passenger side door is super solid now that I've put sound deadener on both doors.
