rattling noise in new strat?

So i'm buying a new American strat, 3-tone sunburst, and while playing it at sam ash today, i noticed that if you pick the guitar up over your head, and turn it upside down, theres a faint rattling noise.

After I came home, I did the same with my fender squire, and noticed i did the same, so it lessened my worry a bit. My question is, is this normal in all strat? Maybe the bridge or something making this noise.

I'm picking my new axe up on wednesday and the tech there said everythnig would be perfect with it. (there setting it up for me)

thanks for listening

    I wanna say that it's just the wires inside hitting either the pickguard or the wood, but I can't say for sure. Mine doesn't do that, the only noise I hear from my strat is if you tap the hollowed out part it echos a little.
    If idle hands are the devil's workshop, he must not be very productive.

    yea, u really have to listen for it, u wouldn't hear it from normal use. Don't ask how I found it. But since hearing it on my strat at home, i wanna say its normal. I mean, what else could it possibly be, the guitar is solid wood.
