In the closed position, the U-shape latch (fixed to body of car) rests on that rubber piece.
You'll find the rubber piece relaxed (height reduced), and therefore the pivoting-latch rubs with the U-shape latch, and causes this rattle.
All you need to do is to regain the height of the rubber piece to restrict the movement.
I used one-face-sticking industrial sponge tape, and my problem is solved.
If this hadn't solve my problem, then I'd have glued another 0.5-cm-height rubber piece into the original one.
Tell us if this solved your problem. Good luck.

Thanks a lot! I guess this is it. So do I have to take the black cover off to see into the lock?
