The last few segments of a Rattle snake's tail are loosely connected. When it becomes agitated, it vibrates its tail rapidly - causing the loose segments to rub together - creating the classic rattle noise. Other species of snake imitate this sound too - some of the Corn snakes I have vibrate their tails in a similar way, when annoyed.
