I am no VW Engineer, but I did study engineering for three years before I went on to greater things using a calculator and being on hold with the Tax Office all day...
Anyway, the only thing I am aware of that was designed to rattle was a pair of maracas. At the end of the day a rattle is the sound of two objects frequently colliding at high speed, usually resulting in structural deterioration of both sources of noise over time.
In 3 years and 1 day we will probably be told that the 'waste gate adjustment rod' needs replacing for a small fortune; payed to the VW Group Director's retirement fund.MY11 Octavia RS 2.0lt TSI DSG Liftback - Candy White

Guys, Don't forget these are public forums, Skoda Australia read them regularly and if you have a problem with the vehicle the local Branch may well step up to satisfy its local clients over the international TSB statements.
Id make a racket if my <50k Turbo car made shocking noises a few weeks after buying it when it was silent. Its not a difficult thing to fix from an engineering perspective. A simple washer or brass bush/sleave would be suffice.

Despite what they say about normal, it's not gonna entice someone to buy another Skoda with a built in rattle. Same goes for all those VW and Audi owners with the same issue. The last thing you want is something annoying everyone with these turbos on a daily basis.
