M2 16-inch-Macbook Pro clacking sound

Hi!

My 2023 16-inch-M2-Macbook Pro makes a clacking/rattling sound when I shake it sideways, something inside apparently is moving. Does anybody know what this is? And I don't mean the infamous popping sound that earlier Intel Macbook Pros made a little while after starting/warming up.

Thanks.

This would be a hardware issue— take it in for over the counter assessment
