Slight rattle on my S7 edge with the camera off

[Plucknbach]

Is anyone experiencing or hearing a slight rattle on their phone with the camera off? It seems to stop when I turn the camera on I believe it's the ois. Is this normal?

Yes I know the answer to this!

Happened on my S5 too and it's to do with how the camera focuses. Whilst off, it'll rattle but whilst it's being used it will be silent. No problem whatsoever, just don't shake it too much or you could damage it.

Yeah it's the OIS.

Thanks. I called samsung support and was told to do a factory reset . Will that eliminate the issue. Imo, if its mechanical, it will not. Any opinions?

No it isn't, it's the focusing part of the camera. The S5 rattles and that doesn't have OIS

No as it's basically because no power is being applied to the focusing drive on the camera. As soon as power is applied (by opening the camera app) the focusing drive is engaged. Don't worry about it and don't shake it
