Why does my chest rattle everytime i cough?! mostly when i cough a little harder?

Chest rattle: That means your cough is becoming more productive. Mucus clogging up your airways is loosening up and getting thinner making it easier for you to hack it up. Drink more warm liquids to thin it out more. Taking an expectorant will also help.
