put a wrench on the top nut that holds the coil down. if its loose it will cause the whole coil to move off its seat and rattle/spin. thats the obvious, i know, but somewhere to start. otherwise if the coil nut is tight, nothing should make noise when at rest. i would put 12v and ground to it and see if the piston does anything funny when you activate it.

its always good to rebuild solenoids before use if you dont know their history. NX should rebuild solenoids for just the cost of shipping, as they did mine 4 years ago on another car.
