Whenever I shake the back side of the lens near my ear, I hear a sound, like something is moving inside the lens. However, it is working properly when mounted. Is this normal?

How hard are you shaking the lens, and how loud is the sound? Can you better describe what it sounds like? – mattdm Jun 10 '16 at 16:51

I am shaking it slowly and sound is also low . I seems that some type of hollow ring is striking . – Siraj Ul haq Jun 10 '16 at 18:44

I hear the faintest jiggle when I shake my lens (and I'm not shaking it very hard). I think my sound comes from the zoom ring moving slightly. I can feel some internal movement but I don't hear anything.
For what it's worth, I bought my lens on eBay, and it's suffered some shocks since I've owned it. Nothing major. I think it's in good shape.
It is normal to hear some clicking sound by shaking a lens, because of AF mechanism. Zoom lenses and VR make more noise because they are made of moving parts.
