Vibration Issue

Hi, has anyone noticed that the vibration function on the iPhone 5 is a bit more rattly than previous versions? Seems as thought the noise occurs more near the earpiece area and happens at the very beginning or end of the vibration sequence. Can anyone tell me is this is normal? Thanks.

Check out an Apple store and the iPhone 5s there. You should be able to compare yours to there's.

Just how it was built.

Still vibrates, so I'm fine with it :)

I compared the sound mine makes with my wife's iphone 5 and mine sounds a little looser. However, she just got hers and I got mine 3 weeks ago. Could it be that hers needs to break in a little more? I have read so many articles about this and how it could be the camera lens (the clanking marbles sound) and the on off switch. However, I also read stuff about things being loose inside and needing to be tightened or secured. I personally think that might be my problem since it is not a consistent rattle that is bothering me. It is that noise that I don't know how to describe right as a the vibration sequence starts or stops.
