@AJmas00 Welcome to HP Community!
I understand that you are getting rattle noise from the computer while playing the games.
Please perform the below steps and check.
Hard Reset:
1) Shutdown the computer.
2) Unplug all the Adapter and peripherals connected.
3) Remove the Battery. ( not for Built-in Battery computer )
4) Press and hold down the power button for 15 to 20 seconds.
5) Plug-in the Adapter and put the Battery back into the computer if it's a (removable battery)
6) Try to turn on the computer and check, If the issue persists continue next step
Also, update the chipset drivers, thermal and BIOS.
Please click the below link to download the drivers.

4 days after i posted this the rattling actually went down a little, now it sounds like a fan that has no oil, it doesnt sound like something is stuck in it but its like theres a paper blocking the fan or a fan that doesnt have oil and making the squeaky fast sounds
