Well my 100mm macro IS and R5 does 'rattle' about during AF with face detect, with the blue points jumping about. Also in single spot AF. Not in single spot non servo

In the former the blue points jump about as the lens reacts to them and in the latter as the point of focus changes with the servo. Not quite the same 'rattling' but lenses do 'rattle' whilst focussing

It is the lens that does the 'rattling', but if IS is on, there is a 'clicking' from the lens IS as well as a 'whirring from the camera IBIS.

The macro is pretty noisy, but my 100-400 is much more quiet
