Power Cord making rattling noise when connecting to PC

Hello, I'd need some urgent advive what to do here.

So I disconnected the PC out of the wall and all other cords to clean it up with compressed air as I do yearly.

Now when I have all cords, except the power cord (where the other end is connected to the wall) connected to the PC, I'm trying to connect this power cord on now but as soon as it gets the contact of the "power pins" it starts to make a bit of odd rattling noise and it makes me very uncomfortable to connect it on all the way in.

Should I just push it in and not care or should I first disconnect it from the wall itself and first connect it to the computer or what way?

Also I should mention that I've heard this before and not really been worried but it seems to be worse now.

Alright so my dad apparently got the balls to put it in, oddly enough it didnt make mutch rattling this time. So now I'll start the PC and see how it goes.

Oh and yeah I would not have touched it either, that PSU is indeed old. Looking forward to get/buy a new PC soon tho.
 


Let us know how it goes.

It works all good now, except the graphics card which has had some odd behavior for a while now (and I possibly know the reason(s) for it's behavior too). Thanks for all the answers!
