[Acronym]

just as the title reads if i shake my iphone i hear a rattling sound my iphone runs fine and as far as i can tell the accelerometer works too. but this mysterious ratlling sound exists

I can hear something too. Like something heavy is shifting around as I shake it

Only things I hear are my home button being a little loose, and my (I'm guessing here) other physical buttons.

why are you shaking your phone?

why are you shaking your phone?

Shake to shuffle

Pun aside, maybe because of some apps that the OP is using. For example when you shake your iPhone during the game play of Sim City...

I suspect it's the silent switch - hold that and shake 'er again.

its not the mute switch

Have you tried holding down all the physical buttons and giving it go?

 

[fireshot91]

Mine does it to. Type a long sentence in notes, and hold the backspace key for 2 seconds.



I'm jailbroken on 2.2, but it happened when I wasn't jailbroken on 2.0

none of the physical buttons

I have a light rattling, but I think it's the sleep/wake button.

Well ... I guess we confirmed you got something loose in your phone.

 

[Warbrain]

Think about the rocker switch that's underneath the volume...

Mine rattles too. I recognized this months ago, and never really thought anything of it.

I deem it normal.

Well not to make you feel bad (in case it does), but I've never felt [heard] any rattling since November 12th when I got my iPhone 3G.

Well that is good, because I think it is impossible to have "felt" anything rattle with the iPhone.

as far as im concerned it hasnt affected the performance of my iphone so i dont really have to worry about it, but knowing what it is would be nice

 

[milani]

Probably the sleep/wake button is just loose.

none of the physical buttons

read my above post

I have a rattling in my iPhone too, and have put it down to the accelerometer, dont know if thats what is causing it, but the phone seems fine and i have never dropped it or anything, made that mistake with my first 3g

 

[rs13]

it may be the battery, i have seen a friend strip his iphone down (fool) lol, the iphone 3g's battery is just stuck the the back plastic by some sort of double sided tape its not screwed down so that maybe the little rattle.

Interesting. Mine makes a rattle noise too. And when I hold the screen up to my ear, I hear a high pitched noise. Obviously, the latter is perfectly normal.
