    I can hear some rattling/vibration going on from the keyboard area whilst playing music which is sometimes annoying, especially whilst playing bass heavy music.

    Is this normal?

    Quite normal, because the sub woofer is quite loud, but check if any possible misalignment on the notebook.
    I know the rattle only when I demo the product in shops, so can't really say much as I do not own the product.

    I think it's normal, I can feel my mousepad popping when playing music.

    It might be the spacebar key just like in my laptop.

    The keyboard has already been replaced and I still get this rattling/vibration sound on certain sounds.

    On mine (UK keyboard) it seems like the backspace and enter key.
