Ok, I just tested this out. This is exactly what appears to be the problem. I placed my hands over the keyboard on that side of the macbook and it eliminated the vibrating rattle that i was experiencing. It's not a fix but just knowing that a) it's not just me (and I'm not certifiable) and b) the source, makes me feel loads better.
I do hope that Apple will source out a solution to this problem. My older macbook air, I can honestly state did not exhibit this issue. (I did a side by side comparison)
So, maybe it's just a percentage of air's produced that exhibit this issue? If we are a small margin, than we may be out of luck.
Thanks @agonza80 it's nice to know what the source of the sound is even if I can't immediately determine a fix.
