So this started as an observation .....not many HiFi headphones go through this issue but my HE-300 (REV 3 METAL) has a problem with severe missing information issue in the Sub-Bass this (supposedly) causes rattling noises in the chamber.
 
Another observation I made was the noise it made was "Kkkrrr" which is very reminiscent to the noise I get while screwing in the wire , many theories but none gives a clear issue of the problem , my 300s have less than 100 hours on them and I noticed the problem to get less of an issue with time and "Burn-In" which renders the wire theroy moot , wanted some information from you guys .....nevertheless the issue was with a handful of songs , thanks !

Sub bass should not cause rattling issue with any properly designed and driven headphone. My guess is that it is damaged or dirty.
