Ok I know nothing about freting but why are you putting your finger right on the fret. Thats not how you play, push down with your finger between the frets. Also I see that all the frets aren't level. And your bridge is to wide like a sitar which will give a sitar like sound. I had a friend just do this as I was helping him build his first fretless and it buzzed like a sitar. Idid'nt notice it right away because everything else he did looked good. Look at pictures of guitar bridges to see what mean. I simple solution would be to take piece of that 1/8th rod or bigger and rest it on top of the bridge to see if that helps with the buzz or as you say rattle. JUst my 2 cents.
What he's doing is causing the string to touch the fret evenly on top and not in between. Thus the string bends upward in both directions to see what the action is. Bridges can be wide. They only have to elevate the strings. Width (other than being too short in length) is not an issue as much.

Randy what I ment the top is like a table, like a sitar, not that it's to long. Of course your better at explaining things then I am. Just looking at the pictures you can see that theres a problem with the frets be level. May I should be quite and learn myself LOL.
