Rattling noise on Galaxy S22 Ultra

Good day, 

Does anyone got same problem like me when I shake my phone gently there was a rattling noise, its looks like something loose inside the phone.

Hi!! I also experienced this sound at first and freaked out. But fret not! It is most likely your Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) moving when you're shaking your phone. The OIS moves relative to your phone to reduce shake when capturing videos. So when you're shaking your phone gently it most likely moved and strikes the sides of the camera module.

what @jonloo1126 said is correct. plus, kindly not shake it too hard as it could damage that component.

But my friend also using the same phone doesn't make rattling noise when I ask him try to gently shake his phone. Also I tried shake display phone at the shop..same doesn't make any noise..😰

Hmmm have you dropped your phone before? I've dropped mine before when it fell off my pocket.

Also although I've heard the rattling sound. It comes and go. Sometimes it's there's, sometimes it's no longer there (like it's no longer moving). So I decided to be less paranoid and just continue using unless it impacts the performance of the phone. I completely relate if you're worried cause this phone is a massive purchase in the first place.

On a worst case scenario, there is no harm in trying to bring it in to a service centre and see if they can have it checked to give yourself peace of mind.

I have never dropped my phone yet. It's ok never mind like you say just ignore it😂

It's a normal noise due to the OIS lense vibration upon shaking. It does not affect your phone function.

Yeah I hope so..🤞🏼
