Sound of a moving part inside M1 MacBook Air

I recently bought a M1 MacBook Air. After 15 days of use i suddenly noticed there is some part moving inside the MBA which makes sound when the MBA is shaked horizontally. That sound comes from the upper region of the keyboard. I am worried about that problem . Is that normal or is that problem harmful for my device?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Hi Vijay_peri. The only movement you should expect from your macbook is the built-in fan, which will occasionally turn on when your computer is overheating. Based on your post, it sounds like you have a lose component in your laptop that is moving when you shake your laptop. I strongly recommend that you contact Apple Support to have your hardware examined and repaired. Good luck.
