My computer(prob. my CD burner) is making a funny rattling sound, it's not really loud and it's not constant, but I was wondering if something was wrong with it? It still seems to work just fine.

it's not the fan, it's definately the cd drive.

I would check for a power wire in the computer itself, if it is a desktop, because sometimes they will rub on the cooling fan in the case, causing a rattling sound. If you're sure it's the cd player, remove the unit, open it up (IF the warrenty os over), and check for loose parts, or replace the unit. It's actually not hard to do in most cases.

It is normal don't worry, I have a Toshiba M70, and there is an option to use the CD with low sound or high speed, that means it is normal
and according to my experience it is normal don't worry
