Try the following:

If the rattle seems to come from the sound produced by your product speakers, see Poor sound quality from product. If the rattling occurs when the product is moved, check for any visible damage or loose parts.

Be sure the rattling noise is not coming from the connected device.

Loose components inside the connected device may rattle when used. Contact the device manufacturer for further help if this is the case.

Check the condition of the headphone cable.

If the plug or any part of the cable is damaged, replace the headphone cable.
