Many tubas do that, and it happens more as they get older. You have to grope around until you can feel the source of the rattle. (sometimes it's a loose brace or a failed solder joint, or just two pieces of valve tubing in contact with each other, or a valve spring.) Then you just have to do something about it. One of my older tubas has paper wads stuffed in certain places to stop the rattles. When I was in high school I tried wrapping string around a valve spring to stop it from rattling, but that did not work very well.
