I had 2 retina MBPs 2014 and 2015 and used them for years NEVER had such issue.
yet my 12" retina MB has this problem.
it is a design flaw.quite annoying, when you consider how much these machines cost, you really shouldn't be dealing with some plastic part hanging loose inside knocking here and there when you handle your laptop.it's just stupid and unacceptable.

really? is that what you think? so are the rattling 12" MB / new MBP the only laptops in the world with high resolution displays? that's a laughable comment.
look,I've had 2 Retina MBP and there are hundreds of high resolution laptops out there, many with better quality than these rattling MacBooks and neither have such design flaws.neither make this clanking noise when being handled as if an amateur child designed them and forgot to properly secure the loose parts..
even Apple themselves wouldn't defend such annoying flaw like you.
I've handled several laptops in my lifetime, some have rattled when shaken and some haven't. Not specific to MacBooks in any way, and I am not defending Apple in any way. I am defending how IPS panels are constructed. One thing I would comment however is that a lot of Apple users expect absolute perfection, which is my first thought whenever I see "I paid MONIES for this!", heck I've paid "MONIES" for a brand new BMW, still had an issue with it.
Seriously people complain about this issue every now and again, it reminds me of the Simpsons 'Sideburns' issue. I agree there are time's it is due to a defect in manufacturing, but 99% of the time it is considered absolutely normal and seeking out a 'perfect' computer is just a nonsensical waste of time and resources.
If your computer is genuinely affected, or if you are genuinely affected by this. Then consider a laptop with an OLED or TN panel instead, as that's the only way to 100% remove the problem as they are constructed in a different way. Even if you get an IPS panel that doesn't rattle today, it is likely to develop at some point when the construction glue used to align everything in the factory wears off due to heat/use.
Of course if it isn't the panel then it needs to be fixed. But if you pinch the screen whilst 'shaking' and it doesn't produce a rattle, then it's part of the construction process.
