Same here, have the detachable one on a 2012 Blackline and no rattles at all.
Not sure for which Softails this is an issue, other than e.g. mine, but with a little fix you can easily get around the turn signal relocation kit. Just need to shave off a little bit on the sissy bar so it fits on the stock setup. I’ll see if I can find the original post to it. I found it a great simplification as it doesn’t affect the structural integrity of the bar at all. And the relocated turn signal do look hideous IMHO...
best, niv

Sure you didn't misunderstand what they said was rattling...??

If it's a one piece sissy bar, and the mounting bolts are tight... I can't see how it would rattle...

I would think any rattle would be the fault of something else if the mounting bolts are tight...

I have had a sissy bar on five of my Harleys.... none that are the exact same one you are asking about... but my sissy bars ranged in design/date from 1978 to 2003... none have rattled...

The one the OP has pictured is a detachable one, if I am not mistaken. I have seen those rattling in rare instances, but never happened to me (and I do tie my luggage to them an all bikes, so they get some wear). Should be an easy fix either way.
Here is the post I mentioned above:
