There's a lot more plastic in the space bar - pretty much every keyboard I've used the space bar sounds different.

If it's really noticable, can you make a video or sound recording of it?

Yeah, the space bar is the one that sounds most different, expect on my linear boards, for some reason. It used to annoy the frick out of me, but I've gotten used to it.

Lubricate the wire stabilizer where it touches the inserts in the keycap as well as the brackets on the plate. Makes a pretty huge difference in the amount of rattle, especially when paired with lubing the ends of the spring inside the switch.

^ pretty much this.

My Filco spacebar was rattling as well, greased the stabilizers a little bit and now it is a joy to press (and listen to).
