Not normal for any fan to rattle.

If its all of them it might be vibrations of thd case being transferred. U might wanna use antivibration plugs or rubber O-ring thingies.
Also try using fixed RPM if it isnt.

If you can get one fan out and power it up while holding it (not by the fans because owwie). If u still hear the rattle while holding it, it's definitely the fans itself that are wonkey

I have tried to take one fan out and put it by my ear the rattle noise is quieter but still present

Could be the case because i ahve just recently change from a antec nx140 to a phanteks enthoo pro 2

There should be no rattle at all

#

But yea; its probably transitioning vibrations through the case, resonance. U'll have to take anti vibration measures. Noctua has rubber fan mount pins, or small rubber O-rings, maybe certain parts of the case that rattle against each other where u wanna add some tape or rubber or something
