If its barely noticeable then it could probably be the voucher to download the strategy guide, etc, which is inside the disc box, along with the manual.

Probably wouldnt be possible to hear that though

I heared that sound also in my LE and I thought it would be the disc but after opening my Edition it was the dlc card inside the game case which was loose.

There's a few different styles of X360 case, some better than others. I've just flicked through about 50 of my X360 games and spotted at least four different variants:

FlexBox (multi-disc) - By far the superior case design. Usually used for games which have multiple discs as it features a hard "nub". A few examples are Deathsmiles, Forza 3, and Final Fantasy XIII

FlexBox (single-disc) - Almost the same as the above, but features small grips around the "nub" to hold a single disc. Very rarely get loose discs with either of the FlexBox designs

Amaray - These are what I class as the default X360 case design. They feature a two-part spindle similar to the mainstream PS3, Wii, and early PS2 cases. Almost perfect, but do sometimes come loose. They also feature the RedTag security slots, which most of the other case designs do not. Examples of an Amaray case include Perfect Dark Zero, Dreamcast Collection, Duke Nukem Forever etc

Unbranded budget case - There's another case desgn which is cheap and flimsy and seems to bear no branding. The spindles feature four arrows pointing towards each other, and these often snap off causing the disc to come loose. If you have an X360 game with a loose disc, I will bet it's one of these! Examples include Dead Rising 2, Homefront, Black Ops etc... You can usually feel whether a game comes in this type of case because you can bend and twist the case, whereas all of the others are significantly more rigid

I'm not sure what to make of my Dark Souls sound. I suspect it could just be a DLC card, as it really doesn't sound like a loose disc, but judging by what you guys have said, it could have slipped out. I am now worried in case movement has caused it to rip through its sleeve in the same way 12" vinyl records had a hait of slicing through their sleeves...

Does anyone have any photo's they could show of the contents, so I could see what it is most likely to be?
