I don’t have that problem - but bring it in to Apple Care right away.

Don't shake it... and then... it won't make noise.

This is an entirely serious reply.

You would make noises too if someone were shaking you! Stop it!

Seriously, though, you should take it into the Genius Bar.

I'm not hearing much, but what there is sounds like something relatively bulky is not entirely fastened down. It might be a tab on the battery not fully affixed.

Whatever it is, if it is loose in any way, shaking it around like that is probably going to make it worse. Having an Apple Store look it over seems like a very wise choice - if it comes loose while they're shaking it, then they rather own the problem!
