check your not blowing air out through any links, could be that something has worked loose before the end can and that needs to be tightened up.

baffle rattle?

It can sound like a rattle when there's a small air leak. Or the packing being worn out can give a rattly/hollow noise.

no air leaks or wasps nests, have changed the can for another one and can rule out the can as the noise still there with a differnt can on, no baffles in to rattle around either,
