Its most likely pulses from the injection pump, put a needle valve inline and restrict part of the flow, this seems to solve the rattle problem.

Getting a needle valve has proven to be a real pain so far. The search goes on...

I got my needle valves from Industrial Distributors Inc. on Ebay. I just checked and they aren't showing them in their store right now, but you might email them. Cost $2.25 a piece.

I found a needle valve at the hardware store. I had a shop install AirDog & they left the valve fully open. Gauge rattled as you describe. Start with it closed & open only until you have pressure reading.
