Depends on what you mean by "rattling" and I can change with humidity
depending on what it is but not likely.  I'd look for some foreign object on
the soundboard underneath the plate.  Mirrors and flashlights are in order,
or an air compressor to try and blow whatever debris might be under there.
Could be the lid, fallboard, short stick, lock, something else in the room.
Sadly, the possibilities are nearly endless.

I have a client who just got a Weinbach? 6ft4 grand online from Arizona.
He is in NJ. I went to tune it last week and he was complaining about  
rattling
In the board. I did hear it, went under and tightened any bridge  
screws but it is still there.
Will it possibly go away after more time in a higher humidity area?
Any suggestions?
