I had same issue as well, rattling when vibration, specifically when the phone was on a flat surface, not on my hand. Rep at Genius Bar told me he felt and heard it too, I ended up getting a new phone since they didn't have replacements. Works perfectly now!
 
The vibrate on my 6s Plus is most definitely more quiet than my 6 Plus was, that thing was ridiculously loud and cheap sounding.
 
I have the same issue with you. My 6s plus definitely has something off when it comes to vibration. I feel very loose and cheap/rattling noise. I compared my phone with my other 6s plus and i can feel the difference. Im still debating whether to return the phone and get a new one or not:(

yea i'm also wondering if this is the way of the taptic engine or whether it should be different than it is..

I have used the iPhone 6S Plus for a year now, had never heard the vibration engine.. or barely heard it at least. No problems what so ever. Until I broke the device and got a new one on insurance a month ago... this new one works quite well.. EXCEPT, when I lay in bed, or in the sofa.. holding it higher than normal. Then, when it vibrates, it sounds like there is something loose inside it. This is very noticable when getting a message, or someone is calling.. however, not when just using 3DTouch (might be because the vibration is too short). It is so loud, like something is hitting metal, and the whole phone vibrates differently because of it. Definitely something wrong with this SWAP unit.
 
I'm sure this question is deep in the forums somewhere, but I just need another opinion.

My phone is awesome and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Love the color, love the size (6s+), I love everything (I even love my TSMC chip ;)). This isn't a thread to complain up and down about the phone, don't worry.

Whenever my phone vibrates, it seems to "rattle", almost like something inside is loose/a screw fell out. I thought it may have been my case, but even when the case is off, it still happens. The only time that you don't hear the rattle is if it's in my pocket, bag, or gripped in my hand pretty tight. Otherwise, if I'm just holding it and reading something while the phone is vibrating, you hear a loud vibrate. Even someone on the other end of the room can hear it "rattle".

This isn't a huge problem to me, but it is pretty annoying after awhile. If I need to go to Apple for a replacement (even though I'm past the 14 day window), I'm afraid that I'll get a defect...kind of like trading a problem for another problem.

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem as well and if a solution has been found that doesn't require a replacement. Again, I don't want this thread to come off as a giant rant about my awful phone. I love my phone (as stated at the beginning) - I didn't wait 2 weeks for nothing ;)
[doublepost=1480832974][/doublepost]I have that problem to with my 6s Plus I send it to apple and they replaced it with a brand new one and still did the same like is it only mine or all the 6s or just the plus
