It's those ten extra bits rattling around in there. They're discarded when the 22 bit ADC produces 12 bit raw files. I believe there's a little canister in the body that holds the discarded bits. That's what you can hear rattling. When full, you'll have to remove the canister to empty the discarded bits.
