D'oh! I've only had my iPod for a couple of weeks, and I stupidly go and drop it! Luckily it was in its case (the standard Apple one), and it only fell from a desk onto a carpeted floor. All the same, I gave it a little shake - and to my dismay, I could hear a tiny rattle! The thing is, it's not a big rattle and you really have to shake the thing and listen closely to hear it. I can't seem to remember ever hearing this before, but then again I wasn't listening for it. Has something broken loose inside, or does every iPod have a tiny (and I mean tiny) rattle?

BTW, it works perfectly. I just want peace of mind that it's not going to break down unexpectedly!

Patient: My arm hurts when I do this. <flexes arm>

Doctor: Don't do that.

Seriously, that sucks. If operation of your iPod isn't affected and "you really have to shake the thing and listen" to hear the rattling, I'd say do your best to forget about it. Good luck.
