If you compare your Pixel 6’s camera system to any other phone, you will see that the phone has a unique camera housing.

Because in many other phones, you may see a camera housing the bumps up in the middle or to either side.
This housing consists of many moving parts for your camera to work. As per specs, Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 pro should have an OIS sensor. OIS stands for Optical Image stabilization. This means that the camera lens will move accordingly to stabilize your video. So obviously, it has to move freely inside the unit. So when you shake it, you should be able to hear the sound as the unit itself moves.
