Answer
I'd try a few things. You need to isolate the problem to establish if it is the guitar or guitarist

First get someone else to play it, someone that you know has a reasonable technique. If it rattles for them you could assume it's the guitar. Then I'd try a few things, the first being have a good look up the neck and see if it has a bow in it the wrong way, r a bump at some point. It could be that the neck alignment is out. If yu don't know what you are doing, don't fiddle with it, take it somewhere credible for someone to check it out. It may be a loose internal brace, but probably not.

If it doesn't then it might be your technique. In this case I'd consider swapping to a lighter set of strings. Also I'd be looking at the way you hold your strings down, whether your fingers ar getting in the way of the string vibrating. Look at the way your thumb grips the neck and whether you could make a fine adjustment to your handle to get a better grip. Your hand should be relaxed but firm. A lot of players hold their left hand too tight, you can get the same same result (or better) by relaxing into chords instead of forcing them.

Or maybe you are tuned down too low. Check it with an electronic tuner. And make friends with other players with a little more experience ASAP.
