it's probably normal. since you opened it up and didn't find anything loose and bouncing around, i'd say you're ok.

to quiet it up, you can buy a kit from some of our vendors, which are stick on pads that go on the outside, or my favorite, is get some "Plasti-Dip" spray paint. it's the same stuff that comes in a can you dip tool handles into to give them rubbery handles, but in a spray. more or less rubber spray paint.

give the inside of the cover a few coats, and it quiets it down a lot.

another trick i did was i got some cork gasket material, cut it to fit the inside, and used spray paint as a glue to hold it in there. that works really good.
 
3M spray adhesive, and a mouse pad or better yet a "Knee-zy" those super soft dense foam pads you kneel on in the garden.
