Not sure about iPad but my mate got his 5 replaced for excessive rattle. The store accepted it rattled too much. The new one also rattled but not as much so I guess it depends how much rattle there is. I don't seem to have any rattle on my iPad 4
 
Some rattle is a normal part of the camera lense/shutter mechanism. This happens with my iPhone 4S also. I think it actually started with the camera upgrade in the iPhone 4. In any case, the only way to know if you are talking about this, or some manufacturing defect with your handset is to compare it to another model or take it to an Apple store.
 
Whenever I slightly tap or lay down my new iPad on a table I hear a rattling noise by the camera...same with my iPhone 5. Is this normal? I heard its the camera but I'm not sure.

Hae you check the sleep/on/off button? I believe th rattles comes from that button because it is loose.
