Rattle in vent

During an inspection today there was a rattling or flaping noise coming out of the air vent. It is the 1st vent coming off the airhandler. What is the cause?

Re: Rattle in vent

Then depending on how the vent terminates, some of them, the flap will rattle as the wind passes across it.
