Hold down the buttons (power, volume, mute) when you tap on the right side above your sim tray. Tell us if the rattle still occurs.
It's not the sim. I'm thinking this is the camera.
Can anyone with a 5C confirm this?
----------
If I tap on the apple logo on the back I can really hear it.
:facepalm:
What does that have to do with me saying to hold down the volume, mute, and power buttons before you tap?
Usually the buttons cause a tiny bit of rattle noise, especially the power button, which is why I told you to hold it down.
My suggestion has nothing whatsoever to do with the sim rattling.
It's the camera and it's normal.
The camera focuses on things using a series of lenses that move ever so slightly independently of each other.
To confirm this, open the camera app and focus on something, now shake the phone. It should be silent.

Then why does it not rattle if you put your finger on the power button while shaking the phone?
The last part didn't work (it still clicks even when opening the camera app). But if I shake my girlfriends 5 I can still hear the little click/rattle noise.
It's definitely not the buttons to whoever keeps suggesting it is.
Even if you tap below the camera on the backside? You don't hear any type of clicking?
You've got to. I hear it on my old 4S, 5 and now 5C.
If you hold it next to your ear and shake it back and forth you should hear clicking as well.
Nope.
Then you have dog hearing and its normal across all phones, so no need to worry.
There's countless threads about it. Maybe you have the perfect phone.
But of you tap on the bottom of the backside there's nothing. Then if you tap right under the camera it makes a different sound.
